Why would anyone think that any of the bibles are a credible source of objective facts of human cognition regarding the problems of existence and origin, and their ramifications or direct revelation from the gods?.God means Creator! No Creator, no creation. Nothing exists.
1. It is not possible, on the very face it, to logically state/think that "knowledge (or anything else) can exist if "God (the Creator) doesn't exist".
just for the record, as you digress to christianity why do you refer that as a valid religion, derived from a written document ?
also at the moment of singularity did any"thing" exist ?
or that whatever exists had to be created ....
just curious.

I didn't digress. I pointed out that beyond the objective facts of human cognition regarding the problems of existence and origin, and their ramifications, any further knowledge would require direct revelation from God. In response to this or that I might from time to time share the only assessment of those kinds of things I believe to be credible. I wouldn't in good conscience recommend ideas about such matters that I did not believe to be true. Folks are still free to make up their own minds or check it out for themselves. Anybody can buy and read a Bible. That's all.
The singularity is currently believed to have emerged via a fluctuation of gravitational energy from the quantum vacuum from whence we also get virtual particles within the extant universe in accordance with the apparent cogency of the special and general theories of relativity and quantum physics. We don't know, scientifically, at this point, what caused the quantum vacuum or what's behind it.
I can explin why people would hold the Bible as a credible source. The process of doing so can be considered a form of inductive logic s well.
First, list some of the evidence for
1) The people that tells you it is credible.
2)The benefits one can find in the aspects of the world view it creates
3) Testimony of experiences of others
4)Personal experiences(if the individual has them)
Depending on how much you trust these forms of evidence, the argument that can be made for the Bible and what it says can be overwhelmingly true to certain individuals.
It is easy to tell that such an argument is inductive. Therefore skepticism of any and all evidence is possible.
People hold the bibles as credible evidence of supernaturalism for the same reason that people hold the Koran, the Vedas, etc., as similar evidence. Those are the human authored books that are a part of their respective cultures and geographic place of birth.
Does anyone think that M. Pompous Rawling wouldn't be pounding his Koran if he had been born and raised in Pakistan?
