But perhaps the best evidence that the Bible is true is that if it were not, the laws of logic and morality—and even our own existence—would not be possible.

But perhaps the best evidence that the Qur'an/Rig-Veda/Book of Mormon/Daodejing/need I go on? is true is that if it were not, the laws of logic and morality -- and even our own existence, would not be possible.
Well, there's that.
OR...
I hate to tell you this, Dave, but all these things existed long before your bible.
Then again, you're so unspeakably stupid, you'll never figure it out.
Dave, baby, logic, morality and our existence need no Biblical underpinnings. Take my word for it. And drink all your Ovaltine.
It wouldn't even make sense if you already held the premise that the Bible is true. It's a total non sequitir and pegged my irony meter. These are the kinds of thoughts that can only exist in a brain that has ceased any thinking beyond the most superficial, stream-of-consciousness thoughts, at least on the subject in question.
Even if this wasn't complete garbage, it's still untestable. The bible would have to stop existing in order to see the results.
Or you could just look to the fact that humanity progressed from creation just fine up until someone wrote the thing originally.
Er... Watch kids. They will make rules up as they go along quite naturally. Logic is indeed a greek word and they had rules prior to the bible's existence. As for LAW...
Egyptian Law and Hammurabi's Codex predate Mosaic Law...
Logic exists by itself and it's what regulates the internal coherence of our thinking; whathever our beliefs. And concerning morality, it's a total human notion, regardless what religion you belong. Of course, God knows what you really mean, since you fundies redefine the meaning of the words since ever.
This one is easy:
A = The Bible is true
If A, then B.
FAIL - affirming the conesquent.
Just because we exist and understand laws of logic and morality is not a reason to believe the Bible - something which came around a long time after we came to understand these things - is a "true" book. And that's the other direction of the argument - false implication.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
