by quoting mother goose? What if I got 200 people together to agree that Mother goose was divinely inspired? would that do it? Would that then prove divine inspiration?By having a large body of people proclaim it?

That's a great question, since of course the significance of Mother Goose is entirely outside the realm of the literal. Is there "truth" in Mother Goose? To be sure. Like any cultural artifact of its kind, it contains a synthesis of many different strands of folk wisdom, humor both light and dark, etc.
Naturally, the same is true for those mythological and semi-historical texts which are collected in the Bible. Is it "true"? Much of it is. There's a great deal of wisdom, mixed, as one might expect, with a great deal of perversity and evil, and a great deal that's simply not relevant to us in our present stage of civilization. So your basic point is a good one: approach the Bible the way we approach Mother Goose. I'm with you!

Sure! It might even be legit if you back it up with thousands of investigative findings have led to confirmation of the exact details stated in the Bible. Historical, archeological, and scientific evidences alike have reinforced proof of Bible truths. Confirmations have been almost innumerable, particularly in this last century (i.e. the Dead Sea Scrolls, Red Sea Crossing site, etc). Then throw in the overwhelming 100% accuracy of Biblical prophecy. There are thousands of fulfilled prophecies including about the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. For example, one of the many Old Testament Messianic prophecies fulfilled by Jesus can be read in Isaiah 53. It describes the life of Jesus Christ 700 years before it happened!

Yes and all of you can live in a farm and do your daily prayer routines. Oh what a lovely portrait... A piggy, mother goose and some chickens...

It's true. I saw a very large shoe as part of a display outside of a Payless and people could live in that. So it's scientifically possible.
Plus, it is true that "if you had so many children" that you "wouldn't know what to do."
