It's a little bit like the way we suspend our belief for movies or books we know are fiction. As long as the art stays within the rules it itself has presented, we can't really argue with it, and we accept it.
But in this case, the theology isn't even playing by the rules it has laid out for itself. It's full of contradictions and cases against itself.
In the movie example, the Bible would be a crappy movie full of contradictions and continuity errors. It would be a summer blockbuster that flops because IT MAKES NO SENSE. Even in it's own rules. Even if you start out by believing that yes, it's possible god may exist, yes it's possible that someone may rise from the dead, so you can enjoy the movie one ends up feeling cheated because it doesn't play by the rules it outlined.
It's flawed from the beginning and cannot be called proof even measured against nothing else.

Has anybody ever done a "Bible....the movie" before? That WOULD be a great idea. I think the confusion would begin somewhere where God creates the world...twice for some reason. After that, the confusion would never clear up.
