I'm not sure how long we can keep arguing, because you seem to rely on your own lack of experience as evidence enough.

This may be shifting the burden of proof from a legalistic one to a more scientific one, but I challenge you to try to disprove the Bible. Try to avoid insulting me, and also, please try to come up with an argument other than "The Bible recounts events entirely outside my range of experience, so it must be completely false." If you can, this should be quite interesting.

The burden of proof lies with you as you're trying to suggest the positive. If I made an assertion concerning the existence of something, I must have evidence to back to prove it exists, no one has to disprove me until I bring in the evidence. How do we disprove something that hasn't been "proven"?

Btw, has anyone seen my flying pink elephant lately?
