I believe the same can be shown with bible. I will eventually do a thread on this very subject.
I look forward to that thread.
I do however believe that statements/stories from religious texts, (no matter which is the religion in question) can also be used to show that what's written is anything more than a fairy tale. That would require some faith in modern science though.
