Truth isn’t established by majority rule. It is established as it corresponds to reality. And truth is exclusive.
.............................................
I agree with every point you make here, but our CONCLUSIONS about what is the truth are often wrong. There are an endless number of examples which could be given to confirm that. Scientists, for example, do their work based on the assumption that what they believe to be true may, upon further investigation, be proven to be untrue.

And with that offering, you just ran into the buzz saw of Christian apologetics:

There is no way 66 books/letters written over 1500 years by 40+ authors of such diverse backgrounds, could have produced a perfect work that is so cohesive and consistent.

If people wanted a miracle.....there it is.

So if you posit that conclusions born from the human experience are often wrong, then point to the error in the inerrant Word of God because 2,000+ years of scholarship hasn't been able to do it. Even the "apparent contradictions" are easily explained.

But not to be out done, a new nation (the United States) gave birth to a nay-sayer-- Simon Greenleaf, co-founder of Harvard Law School. He put the whole thing on trial. At the end of his investigation, not only did be become a Christian, but now his work ( his principles, procedures, and rules) is the international standard on examining all ancient documents.
