No, they weren't all bound up in a book and branded "The Bible" or "The Old Testament". But the laws of God did exist (It's very possible that Adam wrote some of the Old Testament), and have been existent as long as man has. Josiah found the 'lost book of the Law' in 2 Kings 22. It wasn't called 'the old testament', but it was still the word of God.
It doesn't matter whether Plato ever read what we call the Bible or not. What matters is that he presupposed concepts of absolutes, of laws of logic, of absolute right and wrong, et cetera, when those things can't be justified without a Christian worldview. Because in any other worldview, (it's hard to generalize because it's a different argument with different types of worldviews) there is always an inconsistency with good and evil being defined. But with Christianity there isn't.

I'm just pointing out that most Western culture atheists must borrow from a Christian worldview in order to reason. . . .


I knew there was a good reason for avoiding this thread. Someone who so confidently sets the rules and appropriates the thoughts and motivations of others in such a naive fashion is bound to keep a thread going with illogical arguments for a long time. As long as you let her tell you what you're doing and define the playing field. Heaping logical fallacy upon logical fallacy.

Back to your Arguments already in progress.
