The Bible is the claim, not the evidence

[Bad Writer]

I was going to respond point by point, but I think Wes hit upon SW's refutations rather nicely.

Stat, if you hear the phrase "Laboratory-tested", do you immediately, every time jump to the conclusion that the results of said test are in some way unnatural?

You don't know with any amount of certainty that god authored the Bible because that is impossible to know without thinking that an invisible voice is telling you so; on the other hand, the evidence for human penmanship is not only likely, it is a knowable fact.

Something you read in the bible and adhere to is a belief and not something you know to be true. You may hold it as true, but it still boils down to belief in the real world. What's also true about the real world is that there's no evidence that we atheists already believe in a god, whether we know it subconsciously in our brains (or, as you tell us, in our hearts). The only evidence you point to for this rationality is a verse in your bible...and that's it. In that case, you SHOULD believe us when we tell you that we in no way believe in your god; we have more than one source to uphold our position than your single, questionable, biblical source.
