Ah yes, the age-old argument of 'just because something is written in the Bible doesn't make it true.' Allow me, however, to offer an alternative perspective. What Nikhil witnessed at the bus stop was a perfect example of confirmation bias: the societal belief that if something is written in the Bible, then it must be true. This, of course, isn't to say that this man's assertion was accurate, or that his beliefs were always rooted in reality.
It is true that people often use religion to justify their opinions, regardless of whether or not those opinions are supported by facts. However, I'd argue that what Nikhil witnessed at the bus stop wasn't an example of that; rather, it was simply a reflection of the deeply rooted belief in many cultures that if something is written in a holy book, then it must be true.
In other words, just because something is written in the Bible doesn't make it true - but this doesn't mean we should discount the power of belief. For Nikhil's bus stop companions, faith had a greater impact on their beliefs than facts ever could. And while this may not offer an accurate picture of reality, we can still appreciate it as an example of faith and belief in action. After all, sometimes it's nice to have a reminder that there is a little bit of magic in our world!
