Oh?

Was Jesus given anything to drink on the cross?
John 19:29-30
Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
Mark 15:23
And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

I can use the bible to prove the bible, but I will wait
Don't bother. No one but a theist would accept the Bible as evidence of its own validity.

First I want to say that the bible was written by God through 40 men in 3 languages over a 1,500 year period. These men lived in different parts of the world, some were rich, some were poor, some were educated, some were not, most didn't know each other, nor did they have access to the other's writings and yet it fits together as if it were written by one person. It was written by God. It has no errors or contradictions. It is the Word of God. The bible is accurate in matters of Science, History, and all matters of life.
There are countless prophecies which have been predicted and fulfilled perfectly in scripture. Many of these prophecies were written hundreds or even thousands of years before they were fulfilled.
Opinion and conjecture without a hint of supporting evidence. This exact same argument has been presented before and didn't fare any better the first time around.

Creation of the world is literal.
In 6 days around 6000 to 10000 years ago? Outside the Bible, is there any credible geological evidence to support that notion?
