Are you saying they assume the stories of the Bible are true until proven otherwise?
​
Pretty much. Whenever someone questions their belief, they ask for proof that what the Bible says isn't true. If they accept that proof, then they'll either change the meaning of the words to try and warp it to fit the evidence, or they'll grudgingly accept that the line in question is a metaphor.
