Self-Validation of God and The Bible

The Bible and the God that appears to be suggested by the Bible appear suggested to be self-validating: this is to say that they certify themselves. Science might typically suggest such self-validation to be of little value to scientific inquiry since science appears to rely upon multiple independent certifications of an assertion as a typically sufficient indicator of the assertion’s validity.

In the case of the apparently suggested claims regarding the Bible and those of the Bible regarding God, God appears described by the Bible as the supreme being of all of reality and the Bible appears described by those who subscribe to it as documentation of the history of the relationship between that God and the nation of Israel, a documentation apparently suggested to be inspired by that God.

This God also appears to be described by the Bible as having a nature that includes what might reasonably be referred to as human physical reality. That nature also appears described as extending beyond said physical reality into what might be referred to as extra-physical or supernatural reality.

These two aspects of the suggested nature of this God appear to impact human understandings regarding this God such that little if any physical evidence appears available that is considered to be irrefutably and exclusively associatable with this God. In addition, the Bible’s apparent claim of God as the supreme entity of all reality appears to preclude the existence of a higher, entity as a certifying entity.

A reasonable example appears to be that of a business whose sole owner claims to be sole owner. Within the company, validation of the owner’s claim cannot be accomplished via certification by a superior entity since the owner’s supreme position as owner appears reasonable suggested to preclude the existence of any superior entity. Validation appears solely accomplishable via lower-positioned entities who, by faith, have accepted the owner’s claim of ownership.

As a result, science’s apparent certification requirement of multiple validations from independent physical sources appears considered to render science incapable of certifying God. Apparently, the sole basis for acceptance of the existence of this God is faith, defined as the decision to believe in the absence of irrefutable proof.
