Because it is a product of God's inspiration, the Bible is necessarily true.

My opponent and I have agreed upon a definition of God--the God of Christianity. Meaning that for the purposes of this debate the entirety of Christian beliefs about God must be true, that God has all of the attributes listed in Round 1. Now there are scientific facts in the bible supporting the claim of divine inspiration. Only an all-knowing being could have known these scientific facts before science proved them correct. 1. Incest Laws established (Leviticus 18:6). This may seem quite simple to answer. It's screwed up to have sexual relations with a family member. Today, we know that genetic mutations can result from a child born of this kind of relationship. Geneticists have confirmed that the risk of passing a genetic abnormality to your child is much greater if you marry a close relative. Eventually, leading to the death of a community. Yet in the years leading up to 1500 BCE it was common practice to marry near of kin. Then, around 1500 BCE God forbade this practice in the bible. The question is how did ancient man know to forbid incest and that it was bad for communities? They did not. God had to tell them. 2. Scripture proves a revolving earth (Luke 17:34-36). Jesus stated that at His return some would be in bed, at night, while others would be working in the field or mill. People then did not work in the fields or in the mills during the night time they only did during the day. This suggests that day and night would be occurring simultaneously. Meaning a revolving earth. It was not factually known the earth spun on its axis until around 1679 by Isaac Newton. How could ancient man have known such a thing without a deity telling them? 3. The universe is expanding (Job 9:8; Isaiah 42:5; Jeremiah 51:15; Zechariah 12:1). God repeatedly declares that he stretches out the heavens, the universe. But, it was not until 1929 that astronomer Edwin Hubble proved that the universe was constantly expanding. In fact, today most astronomers agree that God told man that the Universe was expanding. 4. Wind currents (Ecclesiastes 1:6). The Bible states, "The wind goes toward the south, and turns around to the north; The wind whirls about continually, and comes again on its circuit." King Solomon wrote this 3,000 years ago with absolutely no evidence to support his claim. It was a theory. During WWII airmen proved Solomon correct by discovering jet streams encircling the globe. 5. The earth free-floats in space (Job 26:7). Other religions declared that Earth sat one back of an elephant or a turtle. The bible states that, "He hangs the earth on nothing." How could ancient man have known this when no other ancient culture had even theorized it? 6. Out bodies are made from the dust of the ground (Genesis 2:7, 3:19). Scientists have discovered that the body is made up of 28 base elements--mainly carbon. All elements are found in the earth. Modern technology has proven this accurate. 7. The stars are much different from each other (1 Corinthians 15:41). Centuries before the invention of the telescope, the Bible declared what could not be discerned by the naked eye. If you were to look up in the sky all stars look the same. But, in fact, each star is different from one another in size, color, intensity, and distance from the Earth. How could have Paul known this? So now we can change the assertions about divine inspiration. 1. God wrote the bible through a human author. 2. God "inspired" them to write scientific knowledge, and other knowledge, which they took on blind faith because they believed God was omnipotent and omniscient. 3. 3000 years later the scientific theories in the bible are proven accurate. 4. God is now proven to be omnipotent and omniscient because these scientific facts are impossible for ancient man to know without an all-knowing and all-powerful deity telling them. 5. God is all-knowing and all-powerful therefore, the scriptures are now completely true. God exists, God divinely inspired the authors to write scientific truths, God is all-powerful and all-knowing, therefore, the entire bible was divinely inspired by an all-powerful, all-knowing deity who wished to give people the truth. The plausibility of Biblical Inspiration is not dependent on a God who possesses the attributes listed in Round 1. In fact, it is dependent on a person believing that God possesses these attributes. Faith. There is no way that Con can prove that the bible is not necessarily true. I have proven that, through science and passages in the bible, that the bible is necessarily true.
