Baloney! It's been done numerous times. The only "knee-jerk" reaction going on is by the refusal to acknowledge it has been, because to do so would show the utter stupidity of claiming it hasn't BEEN answered! You cite NO "facts" nor Scripture to prove against the truth that ONLY sacred Scripture, as the wholly and ONLY Divinely-inspired resource we have from God has intrinsic authority solely because of its nature and origin. Mere men did not "give" us sacred Scripture. It derives it's authority NOT because of some ephemeral "infallibility" of men to determine what is or is not from God, but from its very source - the Holy Spirit. It is why ALL the tenets that make up the rule of the Christian faith have their basis IN Scripture.
At one time even the Catholic church believed that but as they fell further away from the orthodox Christian faith and into the morass of cleverly concocted fables, godless myths, endless genealogies - which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith - and commandments of men who turn away from the truth, the need to give equal authority to those human "traditions" and their hierarchy to that of God's holy word became an imperative. That is the REAL reason why the doctrine of sola Scriptura is fought against so vociferously and those who DO hold to the authority of God's word are ridiculed, mocked, slandered and insulted. It's okay, though, because, for this reason we also suffer these things, but we are not ashamed; for we know whom we have believed and are convinced that He is able to guard what we have entrusted to Him until that day.
By that I mean it is not (nor does it claim to be) an authority on the following items:
1) Human biology
2) Astronomy
3) Physics.
Maybe prots will feel better if I word the question like this:
What are the limits of the authority in the Bible and where in the Bible are these spelled out, making it the SOLE authority on those matters.
