1. The Pyramids Everyone knows that
they are there. Even Charismatic Protestants
apologists can't deny their
existence. So how does their very
existence destroy Biblical
inerrantism? Because every single
one of them was built hundreds of
years before the Bible says that the
Flood supposedly wiped out
humanity. The Great Pyramid of
Khufu in Giza was built around 2550
BC according to Egyptian records.
That is 200 years before the flood.
Embarassingly, God's miles high
flood made no mark on the pyramids
or their contents. The mummies and
artifacts inside are still dry and in
great shape. If there really had been
enough water to cover the Earth, it
would have exerted a force of at
least 1.8 million pounds per square
foot on the Pyramids (assuming that
the water was high enough to cover
the entire Earth and all the
mountains as the Bible says). This
amount of pressure would have
completely destroyed the antiquated
architecture and mummies.
2. Tree Rings Dendrochronology, the
study of tree rings, is an interesting
and informative science that can tell
us much about history. Every year,
each tree creates a new growth ring.
The size of this ring depends on the
conditions of that year. Scientists
can take cores of these trees and
count the number of tree rings in
order to give the age of the tree.
Each year has a distinctive pattern
depending on the local conditions.
Amazingly, we have a species of
tree, known as Bristlecone Pines,
that provide a record of tree rings
that extends back 11,000 years to
9,000 BC. This is an obvious
problem for those that believe that
the Earth was still "matter
unorganized" back then. We even
have a tree, known as Methuselah,
that has now been alive for 4,842
years and counting as shown by its
rings. That means that the tree was
born in 2831 BC. This tree (and many
others) kept living right on through
the Flood that supposedly killed
everything in 2350. The lowly
Bristlecone Pine has toppled the
Holy Bible simply by living when it
should have died.
3 Carbon Dating Radiometric dating is one
of the strongest killers of Biblical literacy
and one that creationists love to hate.
Basically, radiometric dating measures the
amount of an isotope and its decayed
products are present in a given sample. It
is based on the universally admitted fact
that radioactive things decay at a certain
rate. Through simple math, one can figure
out the age of the sample. Radiometric
dating is important because it proves that
fossils are much older than a few thousand
years old. This data shows that the Earth
has been around for 4.5 billion years which
obviously destroys the Ussher Chronology.
Creationists often claim that "decay rates
may have changed" or "I carbon dated my
dead cat and the answer was off, so..." I
have heard all kinds of silly attempts to
discredit radiometric dating. The fact
remains that we have used this method
with not only carbon-14, but with more
than 50 other isotopes to confirm the
dates. Each of these 50 isotopes decays at
a different rate. Yet, they all agree that the
Earth is more than 4.5 billion years old.
This is important. The half-lives for
isotopes range from 70*10-18 seconds for
Be-8 to 2.28*1024 years for Te-128. This is
a huge range of time. That means that God
would have had to speed up each of the 50
isotope's half-lives by vastly different
factors in order to fool us into thinking
that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old. How
ridiculous. My question is: why do
creationists make insane claims about
basic laws of physics in order to defend a
Bronze Age myth?
4 Egyptian Hieroglyphs and Sumerian
Before 2250 BC and the Tower of Babel,
according to Biblical mythology, the only
language on the planet was Adamic. All of
the other languages, including Egyptian
and Sumerian, were created by the
confusion of tongues. Therefore, it is
devastating that we have found hundreds
of examples of writing that date to a
thousand years before the Tower of Babel.
Egyptian writings are also powerful
evidence against Biblical literalism. The
first known Egyptian hieroglyphic
inscription was the Narmer Palette which is
a collection of writing that dates to 3200
BC. This writing existed 1,000 years before
the Tower of Babel when the Egyptian
language was supposedly created. The
first examples of Sumerian Cuneiform date
to 3300 BC. Obviously, two completely
different languages existed long before the
Tower of Babel "created" them all and
neither of them was Adamic.
5 Egyptian Dynastic Records Thanks to a
well-developed system of record keeping
and well-preserved papyri (which oddly
enough, survived the Flood), we know an
amazing amount about the Egyptian
dynasties of the Old Kingdom. We know
the exact years that each pharoah rose to
power and then was replaced beginning
with the Pharoah Zanakht, who rose to
power in 2649. This line continues
unbroken until the Pharoah Unas
(2356-2323 BC) who obviously survived the
"Global Flood" in 2349. This line continues
until Nemtyenmzaf (2255-2246 BC) who
reigned while God was changing
everyone's language. Luckily, God forgot
Egypt existed and no major disruptive
linguistic change occurred during those
few centuries when the Tower of Babel
suppposedly happened.
6 Kangaroos, Lemurs, Frogs, and Emus
Besides the obvious absurdity that Noah
crammed 2 of each of the more than 5,000
mammal species, 10,000 bird species,
1,000,000 insect species, and 9,000 reptile
species in a 450 foot long boat, there are
other biological problems with the Bible.
Leaving aside all the evidence for
evolution, we can look at current animal
distribution to see that Noah's Ark is bunk.
Supposedly, Noah collected 2 of each
animal into his boat and rode the Flood
out for a year until he disembarked and
released all of these animals from one
point on Earth (legend says in Turkey).
They then reproduced and spread out to
where they are now. If this were true,
animals would be present wherever they
could have migrated since the Flood.
Animals go where they can survive. That
would mean that there would not be the
kind of differences that we see in the
world. Why are most Marsupials in
Australia? Are we really expected to believe
that all the Kangaroos got off the Ark and
made a beeline for Australia without
leaving one behind on the mainland? Why
did all the Lemurs head for Madagascar?
Why are the platyrrhines only found in the
Western Hemisphere and catarrhines only
in the Old World? How did all those
animals get to Australia or any other island
at all? Frogs cannot survive in salt water,
so how did they get to Australia? I could
list such problems in animal distribution
forever. These questions are all easily
answered by evolution, but they really
make no sense if we accept Genesis.
7 Oil and Coal Every time a creationist
drives he is benefitting from the fact that
he is wrong. Petroleum only exists
because the Earth is billions of years old.
As most know, it is formed when the
remains of phytoplankton and zooplankton
settle to the bottom of the sea and are
compressed and decomposed in anaerobic
conditions. There is no other way to make
petroleum. Enormous amounts of heat,
pressure, and time are require to create
petroleum. Only geologic time could do it.
The gas in your car is great proof that
Christian Fundamentalists are wrong when
they said that the Earth was 6,000 years
old.

The most annoying thing about these Christians is that they would find all sorts of excuses to cover up the deficiencies and weaknesses of their faith and hypocritically jump at the nearest proof for their faith.

But thankfully you have accepted the Christian faith is rubbish!

Apatheist:


LMFAO

I seriously second that LMFAO.

They responded like fast allergic reaction to facts.

Ignorance is bliss, but must it be allergic to facts?

I am beginning to wonder if my countrymen are allergic to facts.

None of them bothered to counter the points raised. They just started to blab about faith, and attack the OP.

But wait Zikdik! If the Pyramids are BCE 2550 old, then Noah's flood, which i actually calculated to have taken place at 1656 years after creation (Noah was 600 years then) must have taken place and dried up even before the pyramids were built in 2550 BCE.

Now, if creation is 6000 years old, then 6000-1656=4344yrs.
Then the flood is actually older than the pyramids as bible suggests. Or am i wrong somewhere?

Biblical chronology puts Noah's flood at 2345 BCE.

Oh, i see.
I did my own calculation and arrived at 2292 BCE for Noah's food. Really close dates!

looking for the apt word to describe the fuckktard until i bumped on ur post.

Op. Did u really post this trash while u were wild awake? Very pathetic.

I bet ur brain skipped d Flood account that said 4after d flood, d ark rested on mountain of Ararat. Gen 8:4 (Did d mountain disappear after d flood? No. ITK it was still standing like d Pyramid).

Gen 8:11-D dove actually plucked a leaf from a living olive tree. Not one already flooded away.

I don't ve d time 4 dis ur stupidity about humans imperferct means of calculating times before record keeping.

One thing i want u to note: D biblical God is not stupid or short-sighted to know that d survivals would need things like trees, mountains, caves and so on to survive after d flood.

if a pool of water submage a crops and trees how many days it will take the tree to die.

I know plant merely live on direct sun light.

well today I really don't want to talk about things found on the bible.

your problem is arrogance. even if you had good points which you don't, blatantly insulting someone's post and calling it 'very pathetic' is pointless and immature.

Besides, I thought Christians aren't supposed to insult others? or am I mistaken
