Mythological Argument

The Mythological Argument , or Argument of Folklore, or the Comics Manifestation refers to a type of reasoning that suggests that if the Bible has elements of mythology, legend, folklores, or traditional stories, can we consider this book as the work of God or just a fictional tale made by humans? In the history of literature, we know that books with mystical elements or mythical creatures like tikbalang (centaur), dwarves, monsters, witches, kapre (tree demon), talking animals, mermaids, unicorns, dragons, fairies, ghosts, and gods and goddesses, are typically classified as fictional books.

But let's say this God is real and is a perfect being, and according to the Omni Argument, it has five main attributes that indicate it is a perfect being. These attributes are as follows: **Omniscient (all-knowing)**: God has total knowledge of all things—past, present, and future. Even before anything happens, God already knows everything. **Omnipotent (all-powerful)**: God is all-powerful. This means there is nothing that God cannot do. **Omnipresent (everywhere)**: God is present everywhere at all times. God sees everything because He is in all places simultaneously. **Omnibenevolent (all-good/loving)**: God is completely good and loving. God is entirely...
