1. Inaccurate View of the Universe's Age
One of the most significant arguments against Christianity's authenticity is its assertion that the universe is approximately 6000 years old. This belief is based on a literal interpretation of the Bible, particularly the genealogies found in the book of Genesis. However, modern scientific evidence overwhelmingly contradicts this claim. Radiometric dating has shown that the Earth is over 4.5 billion years old. Furthermore, we also know that celestial objects we observe in the night sky are much older than 6000 years. The light from distant stars and galaxies takes billions of years to reach Earth due to the finite speed of light. Observing objects millions or billions of light-years away implies that the universe is far older than the timeline suggested by Christianity.
2. The Great Flood
The great flood is a story from the bible that heavily contradicts with the findings of modern science.
"The one thing we know for sure from geology is that a global flood never happened"
- David Montgomery, professor of geomorphology at the University of Washington in Seattle
"If the "heavens" opened and all of the water in the atmosphere came down at once as rain, the planet would be submerged — but only to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 centimeters), according to the
U.S. Geological Survey.)"
"most species wouldn't survive being reduced to just two animals as they wouldn't have enough
genetic diversity to create a viable population."
"According to historical documents, Noah's flood is a retelling of older stories, and it's likely allegorical rather than a literal recounting of an event.
Ira Spar, professor of ancient studies at Ramapo College of New Jersey, told Live Science that the biblical stories in the Old Testament, which were written down between 800 B.C. and 500 B.C., likely came from older oral traditions and multiple sources."
I hope this has established the flaws in the Bible, if so I can continue in round 2 to elaborate on the reasons and motivation behind the writing of the bible and the spread of Christianity.
people shouldn’t try to undermine jesus. history has proven the events of the bible to be true
Start another debate with the same arguments and I will accept it.
My tactic would be showing overwhelming proof of Christianity existing, and contracting it with fictional religions.
Mall has a good point here regarding logicalman's attack on the Bible's foundation. Pro's attack on biblical origins doesn't mean that Jesus could not have existed. Jesus has been mentioned in other historical documents besides the scriptures.
