Assuming something is correct until proven wrong is the classic argument from ignorance fallacy. It is entirely irrational. Any unfalsifiable belief can be held in the same esteem and is just as "true" according to that argument. In other words, you have to accept any nonsense I come up with as well. For more details, please read:

If you don't care about logical fallacies, no one will take you seriously. Just some advice.
The bible is 1 document. It has been edited and fucked around with and come out in one entire piece. To say parts of it are independent is absolutely ridiculous. Also, it is well established, even among biblical scholars, that two of the gospels are heavily copied from a third (Luke and Matthew, from mark). Also, the ressurection is largely believed to be a forgery.
I'm sure none of that is important though. Good night everyone
