Righteousness in the Bible does not refer to literal righteousness. It refers to spiritual righteousness. We get the righteousness the same way Abraham did---he believed God.
I Cor 1:30 - By His(God)doing we are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification.
Cultist nonsense.

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart.
Luke 6:45New International Version (NIV)
45 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
Common sense and even the Bible, know that our goodness is in our hearts/core selfs. It makes no sense for god to consider David a righteous man considering his actions. It is pathetic to write and sing praises while living in sin. Solomon was no different. Lot, was more pathetic, yet these are considered righteous men.

And, even if these are the result of a creator, there is no evidence it is tied to the Bible.
Yes there is. The Bible tells us God did it. Evolution certainly doesn't tell us how it got here.

I'm not presenting a baseless opinion, you are. Logic and reason don't assume supernatural intervention.
Flawed books written by men don't constitute facts. The Bible is not evidence. There are books that claim there is a santa.
