You are avoiding answering the question. It’s a yes or no question. Is it possible that the documentation is correct?
That’s not what I said. I said that the fact that God created wasn’t an assumption.
Reality does conform to God’s word.
No, it doesn't.When Genesis says that that the Earth was around before the sun was, that contradicts reality.
Do you believe the Koran is divinely inspired? if not, okay if I don't either?Also bear in mind that I've seen Muslims claim that there is evidence that the Koran is divinely inspired as well, so the Bible is hardly unique in that regard.
My point was that in such a case, we can prove that the claim is true without having to bring in the original source as part of the evidence.
People say that about lots of different religious texts. Without evidence to back up the Bible (such evidence being something other than the Bible itself), the claim doesn't carry any weight, except among believers.
Point taken. But I've found that the arguments that are used in those cases are mostly emotional arguments, they have very little actual evidence.

I'm not prepared to believe that very many people have come to Christ because "prophecy proves the Bible." To begin with, Christians who believe that kind of thing are a small minority of Christians as a whole. How does it work? You prove that the Bible is "true" by OT prophecies so then you have to believe the Gospels are true and if the Gospels are true then you have to believe in Jesus?
No, it doesn't.
Today's written history contradicts what the Bible says; and you can't go back in time to say otherwise.
Do you believe the Koran is divinely inspired? if not, okay if I don't either?
Note: I will, however, admit that I think the Koran was spiritually inspired, but not divinely inspired.
If you mean "the autograph" then that is correct.
but if you mean that someone or something can make statements and then be tested to see if those statements are true or not... without actually looking at those statements... then I don't follow your logic.
Did you see my story about the Leprechaun in the forest?The difference is that I don't believe either of them is divinely inspired. Hence my logic is consistent. You, on the other hand, pick and choose based on what you want to believe. You accept one yet discard another simply because you want to. Reality is not determined by what any person wants.
2. The Bible does contain evidence that it is inspired, and can be accessed by one who is willing to measure objective reality as was shown earlier in the case of the devout atheist evolutionist, professor of biology -- that became a believer a creationist because of the reality of Bible predictions proven to be true.
I have yet to meet an atheist or agnostic that said they decided to forget all that and just start believing the Bible is true because someone who believes the bible cried or was emotional. I have never seen any atheist give that as their reason for their switch to full-on faith in the Word of God.
Jesus walked on water.If a source makes a claim, then we do not need to present that source as evidence that the source is correct. We just go and investigate reality.
If the source is correct, then the evidence from reality will show that the claim is true, and we can use that evidence to demonstrate it without having to hold up the source as evidence.

1. One would assume that all major religions claim their holy book is inspired by some divine being. isn't that the whole point?
2. I don't know of any book other than the bible that predicted thousands of years of human history in advance.
It doesn’t depend on who you ask. The balls were on the table and there was a note. Is it possible that the note is true?It depends on who you ask - much like asking whether creationism is true. I would say it is not possible for creationism to be true, you would argue the exact opposite. If someone came and asked us, they'd get different answers from each of us.
It's an analogy. If there were such nice neat easy answers, then it wouldn't be a very good analogy, would it?
The Bible concludes that it’s a fact. My belief has nothing to do with it.So then if your belief doesn't lead you to conclude it is a fact, then perhaps you have some valid scientific evidence to show that it is a fact? Can you present this evidence?
Many folks here would argue that "in reality a bacteria will not turn into a horse no matter how much time and chance you give it". And of course "observations in nature" of 50,000 generations of bacteria prove that what they are arguing in that regard --- is science fact.
An interesting "detail" given that in less than 50,000 generations humans supposedly evolved from primates.
