Using the Bible to prove the Bible is circular reasoning and will do nothing to convince a skeptic.


The Bible uses circular reasoning for sure. Evolutionists use circular reasoning also. They start with the belief evolution is a fact and then go from there. The difference is it starts with the idea of everything coming from nothing which is contrary to the basic tenet of science: For every action there must be a cause. And the cause must be greater than the action. The difference with the Bible is it uses the scientific concept correctly by starting with an Omnipresent, Omnipotent, and Omniscient Being.
