I don’t need evidence … God’s Word says it, therefore it is true.

There needed to be some evidence at some time that the books that got included in the Bible were in fact God's Word.

While I indeed think they are, I should be a fool not to have expected at least some corroborating evidence. I'm not saying this means that every single thing in the Bible needs evidence supporting it. I'm just saying that there has to be some amount of evidence, archaeological and otherwise, that would reasonbly support the claim that the Bible could be the Word of God.

For example, if some prophet had claimed detailed knowledge of some major civilization in the Americas, I would expect that some archelogical evidence of the civilization be around before I would accept having it added to the Bible.
