The 'God only acts in the Middle East' meme refuted as incoherent special pleading

Mike calls this 'inanity' — not a logical argument at all. Even granting the geographic claim (which he disputes — the Bible describes God creating the entire universe, all living things, all people, and all space), geography of narrative setting has no bearing on the inspiration of a text. Mike then notes the special pleading: the meme ignores the Bible's explicit claims about God creating and caring for all of humanity, as well as the subsequent global spread of the biblical message. The gospel explicitly crosses every cultural and geographic border. Finally, if the Bible had named continents like the Americas, skeptics would say ancient explorers simply named them after the Bible's placeholders — the same dismissal logic used against scientific foreknowledge arguments.
