What does "proven to be false" mean?
Is
Goldfinger "proven to be false" because Fort Knox was never robbed? Did Ian Fleming "plagiarize" London street names from a city map?
There are many things in the Bible that are "proven to be false" - the Flood is one glaring example. (It's interesting that the Flood story was, in fact, "borrowed" if not officially plagiarized.)
I believe it is important not to "blindly follow" ANY source. But some of the ideas in the Bible may be worth following whether they were borrowed or not.
You can plagiarize mere facts but can you really plagiarize ideas?
