How backwards we have gotten it that we need *scientific proof* to validate the written word of God.

Like now we can have confidence in it because science proved it so.

God is not validated by science. On the contrary, Jesus did His miracles to validate His message. He appealed to that which man could not verify or explain to validate His message.

You have created a Straw Man. Nobody has said that we need this investigation in order to have faith.

Everything—including scientific data—that makes the gospel more credible to more people, is to be applauded.

Those who use Straw Man arguments are intellectually dishonest. Our Lord does not need our lies, said St. Augustine. Intellectual dishonesty is lying.
