Atheists: Do you know you are proving the Bible Correct Pt 3?
This does not rationally validate that the bible is supernaturally inspired, or that atheists are the wicked. If I created a manifesto or text that stated "there will always be wicked people on the earth whose beliefs are different than my own" how would that make my prediction supernatural or divinely inspired? If you subscribe to the teachings of the bible, you should be familiar with the page, "it is by faith alone," meaning that the "belief" in God is based on faith - not based on tangible evidence. I am not declaring that I am an atheist, but I'm saying that it is impossible to arrive at a belief in anything supernatural by simply trying to connect the dots. Your question is implying that because the bible predicts a type of human behavior (non-belief and/or wickedness based on the rejection or skepticism of a belief in god) by some people, it must be authored or inspired by god. I'm sure there is a name for this type of fallacious reasoning. Also, I'll ume you believe that you fall into the category of the wise, but that is simply circular logic; since your belief that bible believers are wise is based on your interpretation of a bible page (your belief in the source is the basis for your belief in whatever the source states). My advice is to read Tennyson's "In Memoriam" wherein he arguably arrives at the difficult (many might say untenable) position that his belief in God is based on nothing but belief (not facts or knowledge based on evidence).
