Which is true unless it isn't. I don't personally believe it to be true. Do you have any reason to believe that is true other than the fact that you and other people you know already believe it?
My reasons for believing it are scriptural. As I explained in another post, I see the eye witness testimonies of prophets over the centuries, even millennia, telling the same story consistently and cohesively as evidence. Am I safe in assuming that that would not satisfy? Nevertheless, it is sufficient for me.
