CNNNN criticises the bible! Which parts are right you ask?

[komencanto]

Anyone can check this out with RealOnePlayer because the ABC gives you broadcasts of old CNNNN episodes here:

http://www.abc.net.au/cnnnn/video/

It´s on the most recent episode (DVD it´s called) and the segment which you can skip to is called Unholy Homosexuals (if I remember correctly). CNNNN is a great news parody show in Australia, and is somewhat focussed on Austrailan issues, so you might not get all the jokes if you choose to watch them all (they´re all available for streaming, which will be very slow to the US).

I´ll edit in a transcript here as soon as I can, or another person can do it, I havn´t got time to write it just now. For those of you who can, it´s quite amusing, to me at least =)

Believer: "The Bible is without error. It was authored by God. God can not author something that contains falsities because God does not lie. God is a perfect Being. Is this not obvious by reading the Bible? All parts of the Bible are correct."

I am unable to successfuly play this, but even though this is comedy it does bring up an interesting point, from my perspective.


How does one demonstrate a document is without error?

A believer in inerrancy cannot demonstrate the nonexistence of contradictions in the Bible. On whom is the burden of proof. The critic or the believer?

The critic says that contradictions, or that one or more errors exist in the Bible.

The believer says that contradictions do not exist and that the Bible contains no errors.
