Let's see Mike, The bible says everything in it is true so since it says so it must be true, right? Hardly a compelling argument is it?
Now you say it can't be disproved?
Well, the problem is what do you think it says?
God exists? Sure if you're careful about how you define that (or don't define it too carefully) then I guess that can't be disproven. So what?
What specific things does it say that have any chance of being disproven? It seems in other discussions here some of the apparent bible statements are being shown to be on shaky ground.
I know the bible doesn't say some things very clearly. Things like the age of the earth for example. If you say it says some specific number then you'd better pick that number very carefully or it will be disproved.
