Using scripture as evidence

'How can the Bible have gotten the order right and yet so long at the same time?' - I'm not sure if I understand you here, do you mean how is it possible that that long ago this was known? Because God told it to Moses, who the wrote bits of the Bible under God's supervison/guidance sort of.

I know that life was formed around the hot bits at the bottom of the sea, where gases like methane escaped. Just as likely to have come from the Earth as sea then isn't it? Bubbling gases, from the Earth.

Don't look at this as me admitting that I can't argue my point anymore. I still believe what I believe, and strangely, everything you've mentioned, I've heard of and understood already, weird eh?
Anyways, my point is my dad is moaning at me to go to bed, because he can't treate me my flippin' age

How can anyone use scriptures as evidence? I mean, lots of cultures have or have had their own gods and their own myths and legends, whether recorded in writing and pictures or handed down, although to be honest, most of these stories came to be before writing was invented so even the written ones aren't too all that accurate.

So by the standard that the *random holy book* says it, therefore it must be true, then all written fables must also be true. There must be a Zeus, a Hera, a Heracles, a Cassandra, a Thor, an Odin and so on.

Just because something's written doesn't make it true. I could write that the sky is pink, but it's not true. I could write that I'm sharing a bed with Johnny Depp, but it's not true. So why do some people think that it is ok to provide scripture as evidence?
