I'm not getting involved in this, because the simple (and sufficient) answer of faith, evidence, and inherent conviction/recognizance does not play out well on a casual internet forum. No, I am not talking about Global Wa.......I mean.......Anthropogenically-Driven Climate Change......

However, if you are REALLY dying to hear some more educated pro-Christian arguments related to the inspiration, inerrancy, and infallibility of Scripture, then here are some, certainly not exhaustive or maybe even exactly what you are looking for:

Rainbows, they are proof of precipitation, not gayness. I know this, because I am in Logan, Utah taking a datalogger programming class right now, and while I can see the rainbows and the rain, the Gaydar screen is 100% clear. No, I'm not shopping for a second wife.
