If the Bible is provably false, then the Bible is a lie. On the other hand if the Bible can be proven to be true it then becomes factual, and the existence of God is proven and there is no need for faith. Until we are presented with proof that the Bible is true and factual, we have to see it as a collection of stories, myths, metaphors, allegories, tales, parables, fables, traditions, rituals, beliefs, mores, legends, and folklore – passed down through the generations.
