Christianity is False

Thanks Daley.My basic argument is like so, 1. 2 Timothy 3:16 says “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,”2. God is suppose to be perfect3. His scripture is full of errors making it imperfect4. A perfect God can't breath an imperfect bookC. Christianity is false Since it's assumed by Con that the Bible is completely and literally true, premise 3 is the one he must refute and I must defend. Argument 1: GeocentrismThe scriptures seem to subscribe to the outdated Geocentric model of the Solar System.Joshua 10:12-1312 Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. 13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. The only way this can work is if the sun goes around the Earth.This is an outdated model, proven by many lines of evidence. *Stellar parallax [1]*Basic Gravity [2]*Stellar aberration [3] We also know the Earth rotates by the effects it produces. Like, * Coriolis effect [4] * Foucault pendulum [5]. There's many more problems with the Geocentric model [6] Argument 2: Contradiction between Jesus' birth The Problem“The Gospel of Luke claims (2.1-2) that Jesus was born during a census that we know from the historian Josephus took place after Herod the Great died, and after his successor, Archelaus, was deposed. But Matthew claims (2.1-3) that Jesus was born when Herod the Great was still alive--possibly two years before he died (2:7-16). Other elements of their stories also contradict each other. Since Josephus precisely dates the census to 6 A.D. and Herod's death to 4 B.C., and the sequence is indisputable, Luke and Matthew contradict each other.” - Richard Carrier [7]Many have tried to refute this contradiction, yet none have succeed. Some have tried to claim that Quirinius was governor twice. In Roman history there's no evidence that someone ever governed a province twice. Further evidence show there was no possible way for him to be governor twice, since we know who was governor between 12-3 B.C. Richard Carrier refutes every apologist answer to this contraction in source [7].“...this becomes an irreconcilable contradiction after an examination of all the relevant facts.” - Richard Carrier Argument 3: Failed Archeology Walls of Jericho In the 1930s, an archaeological expedition was led by a man named John Gerstang. He hoped to find evidence of the Jericho walls as described in the bible. The evidence from his journey came up to what he believed to be conclusive. He found broken fragments of pottery in some houses that were built over the walls and dated them to about 1400 B.C. In the time and place where the bible said! [8] However, further investigation continued by Kathleen Kenyon proved Gerstang to be wrong. She proved the walls were destroyed about a thousand years before Gerstang’s date! That's 2,300 B.C! Her interpretation is accepted by archaeologists today, not Gerstang’s! There also couldn't have been another wall, because the evidence between 1400 and 1300 BC shows there was only one tiny building and some tombs. Jericho wouldn't have been settled and they would've found just a few huts or possibly nothing at all in the time of 1300 B.C. The bible was wrong, again.[9][10][11][12] Thanks, now to Con.
