The Bible is not the word of God

My opponent has answered swiftly, I thank him for this. My opponent says that I oppose the Bible because it presents miraculous signs, but this is incorrect, I oppose the Bible because the signs that it presents cannot be proven. My opponent is accurate in saying that I do not believe in miracles as the Bible presents them, but this is not my opinion, this is scientific fact. The Bible gives examples of a donkey talking (Numbers 22:28-30). How can I tell my children that the donkey in Shrek is not real but the one in the Christian Bible is very real? What evidence outside of the story in the Bible can be used to validate such a claim? My opponent states the following"His argument flows thuslyA) The Bible presents miraclesB) Miracles are impossibleC) Therefore the Bible is inaccurate and not the Word of God"I shall answer them all in turn. A) The Bible presents miraclesThis is self evident. B) Miracles are impossibleI have provided numerous scientific evidence in my earlier posts, such as the impossibility of the flood happening and all animals being placed into a wooden boat, to which my opponent did not provide any counter evidence to show why it was possible. He simply makes statements and provides theories. I will add further scientific evidence now. "The Bible gives the date of the flood as beginning 2345 BCE and ending in 2344 BCE If this were really the world-wide gig claimed by creationists then the civilizations of the world would all show a disruption in their history or at least take note of such an event, but does the rest of archeology/history corroborate the Biblical account===> NO! The city of Ur of the Chaldees (ancient Sumer, location of the "plains of Shinar", hangout of Noah) was the leading city from about 2400 BCE until about 2,285 BCE and its history is not broken by any flood in this period. Babylon was rising to power from about 2,400 BCE on and reached a great height of civilization under the famous King Hammurabi, who would have been a contemporary of Hebrew patriarch Abraham (about 2,250 BCE), and again there is no break in this history due to a flood. In Egypt, the 5th Dynasty, which began to reign about 2,465 BCE, was followed by the 6th Dynasty (2,323 BCE), which ruled to about 2000 BCE. This time-period is very well-documented and there was no disruption during the 5th Dynasty at the time of Noah's flood, 2,345 BCE, with the nation remaining strong and powerful throughout these dynasties. The Harappan Civilization(2300 - 1900 BCE) in India shows no disruptions at the time of the Flood and, ironically, appears to have ended because of a region-wide drought! (some used to think that an invasion was the cause, but the evidence points away from this earlier scenario). Chinese history begins nearly 3,000 BCE. The Shu-King historic record of China, shows that King Yao came to the throne in 2356 BCE and ruled China for many years after the alleged flood. Incidentally, during the reign of Yao, the Shu King reports that the Hwang Ho River flooded on a number of times, for three generations, again with NO break in history. Please consult the History of China or THIS timeline. The only place you find these early rulers listed are at Chinese sites (spelled Tangyao, Westerners shorten this to Yao). Ancient civilizations in India which predate the Bible entirely and shows no evidence that such an event ever happened ( appearance of the oldest book of the Hindu religion, the Rig Veda pre-dates the Bible considerably, according to astronomical dating provided by astronomical events listed in the Rig Veda)" (www. deusdiapente. net/science/flood. php)Flood theorists generally pinpoint the date sometime about 2,500 BC or thereabouts, and are completely unaware that records from Egypt and other ancient civilizations exist for that time period. No flood. Contradictions revisited. .. .. again. The Bible is an unreliable authority because it contains numerous contradictions. Logically, if two statements are contradictory, at least one of them is false. The biblical contradictions therefore prove that the book has many false statements and is not infallible. I did fail to cite my source in my earlier post so I present it here. Google Dictionary. (. http://www.google.com...) I could continue to list more contradictions from the Bible, but I think that I have carried my burden of proof in earlier rounds, and so do not have to repeat them here. My opponent would have us believe that an almighty Creator could not get his numbers straight. The Books of Moses The first five books of the Bible are called the Pentateuch, or "The Books of Moses. " Many fundamentalist Christians and Jews believe that Moses wrote these first five books. I am absolutely sure that my opponent is in that category. First: "Did Moses write the five books (Pentateuch), which are designated by his name? " To this question we unhesitatingly answer, yes; for the following reason: If any man presents a book to the public, and alleges that he is the author of the same, he deserves, without doubt, to be believed, unless some other person should claim the authorship, and bring conclusive proof, that he, and not the ostensible editor, is the true author. " (. http://www.jewish-history.com...)A careful examination by the astute reader will reveal that Moses could not have written the Pentateuch. I ask you the reader to judge this verse, and decide for yourself; But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and cried out, "O God, God of every human spirit, will you be angry with the entire assembly when only one man sins? " (NIV) (Numbers 16:22) As you can see this, and hundreds of verses like this are written from the third person perspective! ! had Moses wrote this it would read something like this; "But I and Aaron fell facedown and cried out, 'O God, God of every human spirit, will you be angry with the entire assembly when only one man sins? ""So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord" (Deut: 34:3). Did Moses write about his own death? I think not. Finally, I have offered proof, not dogma, to prove that the Bible is full of contradictions, errors, and stories that are scientifically unproven (i. e, untrue). To overlook these glaring errors is to judge this debate based on emotion, and not reason.
