DAVE versus DAVE again:

"(COURT 3/12) Darrel: I agree with your original point:
that the Bible cannot be used to validate itself - the
validation for the Bible must be found elsewhere. The
Bible CAN be used to discredit itself, if there is error
found in it - I agree with this as well."

"(COURT 3/12)
I disagree with you, I don't think the Bible can
be used to support its validity - there must be external
sources for this to be true (for example - God's existence
and revelation of authorship would validate what the
Bible says) - but the Bible just saying it is not enough. I
agree with Yoel and Darrel on this one."
