I noticed we have a lot of posts/threads concerning the Bible, but very little based on PROVING the Bible. So here is the thread for those who believe in the Bible as absolute truth to stand up for the validity of your stance. Provide your proofs and evidences! Let's examine them, and let the facts(and interpretations thereof) speak for themselves.

Also, some guidelines:

1.) Be civil, and address each others concerns and questions
2.) Let's try not to have this devolve into pointless e-posturing and triumphant grandstanding at one another, please. It only leads to anger, and lots of flames, and of course--pain for the one who started this thread

3.) Engage. Please, let's not speak past each other.
4.) Please, none of this:

A: My proof of the Bible is Mark 13
B: Okay, how is it proof
A: Well, Matthew 4 says......
B: *long flame on his ignorance rather than a civil post stating the problem with using the Bible to prove the Bible*
A: Excuse me but HOW dare you QUESTION the God MOST HOLY. YOU WILL BURN AND LEBELON, THE DEMON WHO TORTURES ALL WHO DISAGREE WITH POSTER A, WILL RAPE YOU IN THE NINTH CIRCLE OF HELL AS I LAUGH TRIUMPHANTLY FOR ALL ETENRITY WHILE UP IN HEAVEN DRINKING HOLY MARTINIS OR SOMESUCH
B: You haven't answered my concern :(
A: Because it was irrelevant
B:

How wonderfully avoidant of you....
A: HOW DARE YOU, etc., etc.
B: Still avoiding my quesiton, huh?

*A and B continue the same circle on and on and on for eternity until the thread is forever ignored by Zinkovich to make the pain on his monitor go away*

So, with that said, and with my fears of what this thread will become hopefully put to rest, let's hear some of these proofs, shall we?

Here's some ideas of where to start concerning proof\logical arguments:
1.)While not conlusive, defending the hisoritic aspect of the Bible will at least establish it as accurate in the temporal sense.
2.) The Biblical creation Story; either the Old earth or Young Earth interpretations, of course, depending on where you stand.
3.) Why we should consider it true as opposed to the other possibilities concenring the naturre/purpose of man/the universe

Edit: Reedited per Isherwood's valid points concerning nonconclusiveness.
