Re: Skeptics being wrong about the Bible. The Bible skeptics errancy list

Sorry if I'm being pedantic here, but Skepticism per se, cannot be errant. Skepticism embodies errancy itself, it says that we can't know ANYTHING. You've all heard the malevolent demon/evil scientist argument, before right? Descartes? The brain in a vat theory? Example: you are sitting at a desk, with the bible in front of you, and you're reading it. How do you know that the bible's even real? The malevolent demon could be tricking you. The evil scientist who could be anyone, could just be feeding the information into you're brain thats in a vat somewhere which could be anywhere. Notice I'm already going into metaphysics, but considering that the bible is media I don't even really need to go this far. THE BIBLE IS MEDIA. Someone says something, you can't test it, therefore it comes down to belief. Imagine what would happen if people accepted Mein Kampf as literal truth without skeptical guidance. There's no difference other than your belief in what that text means. But skepticism clearly states that belief or opinion ain't shit, if you'll forgive my profanity.

No, skeptics assert that one can only know 'I think, therefore I am.' as Yaro rightfully pointed out. To claim that the Bible is inerrant, it would require showing it's entire content to be so perfectly true that everyone would know it as well as they know that they exist to know it in the first place. That's the real nonsense. History, language and science are tools that people try to use to prove the innerancy of the Bible yet these themselves are errant. For example, I ask you to prove to me that the Bible wasn't wriiten 25 years ago (before I was born). There's no way you can 100% show me this to be true, because I wasn't alive to see and everyone COULD be lying. Since you're incapable of doing that, the chance of you succeeding in showing it to be entirely inerrant is virtually nil. In fact, if you did manage it, you would be the first person to prove anything, ever. You would win the Nobel prize, and then you could also tell us whether a tree that falls in the woods makes a sound if no-one's there to hear it.
