That God is the source of the information in the Bible is an underlying assumption.

All religious arguments in Christianity eventually come down to this. The Bible states something. That something can not be independantly verified. You either accept it, or you don't, end of discussion.
So, you come to a non-ending circular assumption. Not very convincing. Why just don´t say, well, I believe in it?. Period.
I think Crosis's "Point Logic" is best... I was thinking along the same lines as "Singularity Logic" because no matter how you move away from it, it always gets sucked right back into the same place you started. Kinda like being on the event horizon of a black hole, where if you look in the right direction you can see the back of your own head.
"Singularity Logic" Award!expression of an idea, and be content. It's like someone being fed on a diet of gruel, and whenever asked why he doesn't eat steak or bread or broccoli, he just repeats that the only food in existence is gruel -- even as you offer him a hamburger with everything.

The more polite fundie version of sticking your fingers in your ears and saying "LA, LA, LA, LA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
Rhutchin, your argument is brilliant! I'm going to go down to my local church and get saved first thing tomorrow! I can't believe how smart you are! I can't believe I never thought of that! Obviously, the Bible must be true because the Bible says that God wrote it and the Bible says that God is infallible! As a reward for your brilliance, I'm going to make you a special offer: I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge for only $22,500. Normally, this amazing bridge in New York City sells for $25,000 or even $30,000 but since you're so smart, I'm giving you a discount!must be true!
Confused?
