So let's say for the sake of argument evolution is blown Out of the water. Now prove Biblical creationism.
We already KNOW that the bible is not a historically accurate document. The catholic church has already admitted that the genesis stories are allegories - and do not have to be taken as fact - and most other major xtian sects do the same. It is only a small group of fundamentalist xtians who still claim the bible to be inerrant.
The bible cannot be proven TRUE
The bible can be proven to have errors - contradictions - and falsehoods.
And once they accepted that the bible is not inerrant truth - the rest of the stories are left without support. When the bible was claimed to be inerrant - and the church could enforce that belief - it self proved. Once you accept that it has flaws - tbe bible becomes only as good as the proof offered from outside of the bible. And since virtually all of the bible stories have no outside proof - they remain religious MYTH - nothing more.
The writings of religous groups - from the Koran - to the Egyptian book of the Dead - to the Bible - and many others - are simply Fairy tales - which have no provable basis in fact.
And that creates a problem - the one that religion had never been able to address - the lack of proof of any of the supernatural claims of their belief - because they cannot move from acceptance of a god - even if that god ONLY made the big bang happen - to the nonsense of heaven, hell, angels, devils, souls - and other nonsense
Religion is on the wane - even those who belong - are believing less and less of what they are told. And many young people are forced into it - but do not believe at all - and simply go through the motions to avoid conflict with older family. The western nations -= where religion is really going extinct - is where religion gets its money - and where it once got its clergy. But there is a shortage of clergy in almost all religions today - and the reduction in money is preventing them from keeping open lots of now closed schools and churches.
There is no need to PROVE the bible - it is FALSE already
