The Bible is the claim, not the evidence

[Esquilax]

^^^ So then out of curiosity what causes you to reject the testimony of the Bible. You would agree that the book exists. And no doubt you accept testimony as valid evidence. I say this assuming most of the evidence you have for your beliefs from testimony. I'm assuming you either believe in the moon landing or not and I'm guessing you haven't yourself been on the moon nor were you there taking the "fake pictures" to support your view one way or another. What is it about this testimony that causes you to reject it?

Well, one doesn't unreservedly accept testimony, that's important to remember; when a court swears in a witness, they don't assume everything he says is the truth. We have perjury laws for a reason, after all.

There's a metric for how trustworthy testimony is, based on numerous factors. One is the identity and education of the testifier: the bible is written by multiple mostly anonymous authors who had no formal education nor even a functioning scientific apparatus. So, it fails there. Another is the supporting evidence for the claim; when it comes to the moon landing, for example, I can actually research the design of the rocket and, with sufficient education, understand whether it would or wouldn't function. And that's to say nothing of the photographic evidence from other lunar landers of the touchdown site. But the bible has very little in the way of evidence, to the point where we can't even confirm Jesus existed, and in fact much of today's science contradicts accounts in the bible (that science, by the way, is replicatable by anyone.)

So, we don't really know the authors and even if we did they didn't have the knowledge to say the things they did, and the actual investigations in the modern era disagree with them anyway. That would normally be enough, but when you add in that we know that the biblical canon has been edited and redacted by pretty much every christian religious tradition to ever get a hold of it... this isn't trustworthy testimony.
