We're talking about the bible, not God.
Correction: We were talking about the bible, not God.

No, the Bible disproves the Bible. The Bible isn't consistent with scientific fact.
Fact: The world-drowing flood described for Noah....didn't happen.
Period.
That's it.
No flood.
The myth is....a myth, not true.
End of argument.
Was Mary's hymen allegorical? You have to take that article on faith.
But the Bible contains known factual errors, so it cannot be taken on faith.
It contains no errors. It contains stories and events from different perspectives.
We know 8 people can see exactly the same event and you will get 8 different stories. I know, I was a cop and it is nothing unusual.
Now lets take 66 different books that have literally nothing to do with each other and put them all together into one book.
Your premise is flawed because you don't seem to know much about the history of the Bible.
It's not because he hasn't been given the information and links on many occasions.
I just gotta ask...We don't even have to leave the earth to prove that the bible is wrong, the bible is wrong because the earth isn't flat, and the bible is wrong because we are not within a geocentric universe.
I see you're far more interestind in attacking me than you are in supporting your assertion.In other words, your rules don't apply when you want an answer.
If that's what lets you sleep at night...I'm not allowed to post answers until the Goobieman Rule is rescinded.
If something has been proven, it cannot then be disproven...How can something that is not proven... be disproven?
This is entirely subjective....established or have any geological/cosmoslogical/historical value...
This is absolutely true. Anyone that absolutely rejects everything in the Bible does so out of ignorance and a bigoted pre-disposition against religion.Parts of the Bible have been proven to be historically accurate.
No... you're afraid.I am not frustrated, I am amused
If the universe is truely infinite, then, at this very moment, there are an infinte number of yous reading an infinte number of these responses.Even though it is almost impossible that the Universe isn't literally full of an almost infinite number of lifeforms.....
If everything in the universe was created by the laws of physics, then everything that has happened and everything that will happen is set in stone.We still cannot rule out the possibility of there being a God in some form because it all had to start somehow.

Please point out where in the Bible it says the "earth is flat?"
And don't even try "the four corners of the earth." The word translated “corners,” as in the phrase just mentioned, is the Hebrew word, KANAPH. Kanaph is translated in a variety of ways. However, it generally means extremity, not corners.
Now I will show you how the Bible long before anyone knew pointed out earths true position in the universe...
Job 26:7 "He it is Who spreads out the northern skies over emptiness and hangs the earth upon or over nothing."
How could Job, more than 3000 years ago, possibly have known that God “hangs the earth upon nothing."
I know! It was a good guess. :mrgreen:
PS if their is life out there it would have no effect on the Bible one way or the other as it makes no mention of it at all.
He's going to point out passages regarding corners and foundations, watch.....

Oh really?
The Bible's different books were written from the perspective of the person writing it. It is many different books with many different authors.
We know huge local floods did indeed happen as almost every religion in the world including Native Americans etc have a similar story.
Now lets take a human from thousands of years ago who thinks the whole wold is what is around him. Now lets show him a giant flood in his area of the world.
Just because you don't understand the perspective of a story does not mean the rest of us don't.
It contains no errors. It contains stories and events from different perspectives.

Must be because you know that you cannot support said assertion.
That's OK -- no one is surprised.
This is a lie. You cannot, as proven by all of your diversions.Of course I can support what I say.
No... you're afraid.
Right.
And the authors plagiarizing the story of Gilgamesh and calling it "Noah" were making up a myth when they said the whole world was covered in water, since that has never happened, ever.
Irrelevant.
1) The bible says the whole earth was covered, which meant Everest drowned.
2) Almost every society experiences big floods. That doesn't mean Everest drowned or that they occurred comtemporaneously with other mythical flood.
Yes, let's explain that the Bible is wrong, because it makes things global that arren't. Naturally, if a big flood happens locally, there's no need for Noah to rescue the pigeons, they'll be alive where it's dry.
Oops, I wasn't supposed to point out that flaw in your logic, was I?
Since the Bible can't be taken literally, it can't be taken on faith, and since Mary's Hymen must be taken on faith, the divinity of Jesus is unverifiable and not a credible theory of how the girl got knocked up, since there are so many easier ways to get a broad pregnant. So, Christianity has no foundation if the Bible is false in any way.
The Bible contains proven falsehoods.
Yes, that you don't understand the story doesn't mean I do not.
