According to Warfield, comprehensively demonstrable, factual inerrancy should not be the test for divine authorship of the Bible... Proving comprehensive factual inerrancy is an impossible fools errand. One should grant the Bible authority relative to the quantity and strength of its historical evidences and, as a result, presume truthful, in the face of historical difficulties, its claim to inerrancy until historical evidence indefeasibly proves otherwise. Because the Bible is demonstrably (to a degree) grounded in history, Scripture should receive the benefit of the doubt; the burden of proof lies on critics to demonstrably prove historical inaccuracies (not just difficulties).
