Don't tell the people whom fundamentalists believe to have known god that the world is in fact a tad bigger than the distance to the furtherst cousin they fucked.
The problem is that people - many people - were brought up being told an unquestionable statement - that the bible is the Inerrant word of a god
So - since everything in the bible is "true" then it self proofs.
But we KNow today the statement is false - the entire bible was written by humans - and clearly shows the superstitions and beliefs of ancient cave dwellers. There are errors - contradictions - impossibilities - and nonsense as well. So - a LOGICAL person looks at the bible and looks for supporting proof of the statements in it - and finding none =- or finding things that conflict with the bible - accept the bible to be MYTH.
