You said you wanted me to correct your assumptions;  Here's a
biggie - perhaps your most fundamental.  The Bible was penned
by men, but the author is God.  Your assumption to the contrary
makes all the other aspects of this "debate" difficult if not
pointless, as we lack a common reference standard.

Ah, but I'll also point out your assumption which *I* think is wrong-- that
God IS the author of the Bible. You can't prove such, you only think it to
be correct based on your own judgement. And I think the reverse.

A large part of the Bible is fulfilled prophecy.  Only God can
prophecy because he isn't bounded by time like we are.

Oh?  So Nostradamus was God?  His prophecies have been as accurate or more
accurate.  It's all in the interpretation.  The more vague the prophecy, the easier
it is to link to actual events.

Nostr even predicted Bush becoming president ;-)


Proof beyond a reasonable doubt AFAIK.

Nowhere near beyond a reasonable doubt for me.
