Warm and fuzzy, or worth its weight?

[banderson]

Does anybody think there is much actual strength in the argument from biblical continuity? That is, the idea that the Bible is special because it was written by many authors, over thousands of years, and maintains a unified message?

This approach used to seem like a throw in to me - a bone at the end of another good argument. Maybe I've re-visited this...

What do you think? Is this argument solid? If so, when should it be used? What are its strengths and weaknesses?
