Prove the basic elements of the Bible?
...Like God creating the Earth in 7 days and Eve from Adam's rib?

The same way people believe in Christianity, or any other religion.

You do realize that Scientology was invented by a science fiction author, yes?

So was the Flying Spagetti Monster! And Ktulu!

...You do realize that the Bible could've been written by ancient science fiction authors, yes?

That'd be extremely difficult. Another thing that I realized was the line of Popes of the early church. Everyone knew that Peter was appointed by Jesus, and this has been passed down over and over, generation by generation, by the Roman Catholic Church. Nobody would waste their time trying to convince everyone in Rome to start a rumor of that and pass it down 2000 years.

But this isn't a "Is Jesus Real?!" debate.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

And Ktulu!
Assuming you mean "Cthulhu", it was created by a horror author, not science fiction. The major difference is that Lovecraft knew he was making up Cthulhu.

Although that could probably be said for the people who invented Christianity 2000 years ago, too. Back then, Gods were typically used to control the population. :)

Omfg, I don't understand how people believe in Scientology.  But I suppose they have their reasons...

There are two things about scientology I know, and two things about scientology I accept.

1. Refusal of medicine. The bible says that God will heal us, etc etc, so I can see this point. Yeah, every once in a while, God does perform miracles (at least, I believe that's what they are, but science refuses to admit it :P), but doctors and medical science are available and since they're part of God's creation, he's indirectly healing you with medicine.

2. Living on scientology compounds. Really, just getting away from the rest of the world. Think of a Monestary.

I said I can understand both, but I don't really support either. At least, I wouldn't personally wouldn't do them.
I'm pretty sure that #1 is "Scientific Christains," not Scientologists. Scientologists don't use medacin for what ever reason, I think it's 'cause they feel that the mind is what effects the body, and yeah..
