Christianity is the most rationally based faith

Rebuttals: "I have never heard of a Christian seeing his God in the modern times. The feelings you got are not God revealing himself to you,they are mere hormones and other substances acting in your brain. An atheist can feel the same things even without believing in God[1].Also,why would God only reveal himself to people who are really convicted that he exists and that are sure that they are going to heaven and let people who needs to believe him going to hell without reveal himself?" I will refute this guy's claims on youtube and point out his flaws. He starts off saying that it's more likely that a divine experience is based on a brain disorder, where are his sources? He didn't say. He also says that we base our reasoning on Occam's Razor, but fails to point out that science also uses the same principle (1). He also assumes that my experience is based on pure feeling when it's not. God did not make me "feel him", he gave me a revelation of Jesus Christ. Therefore, his argument is dead. This was more of a philosophical argument, but before you bring science into this, i will refute your future attacks ahead of time. Science uses inductive reasoning (you can find more on wikipedia) which is inference without proving it definitely. Now to illustrate why this is it's downfall, i will give a quick example of how Darwin came to a conclusion for evolution: 1. Darwin saw that finches were different across the Galapagos 2. He saw they were isolated from each other and there were variations between the sub species 3. Conclusion - he concluded that finches and later that species came from a common ancestor and this is the basis for his theory The problem? His logic is not absolute. He has not scientifically explored all the animals on earth to see if his claim is true. If we find a species that did not evolve, his argument is gone. Similarly, you cannot use a scientific experiment to completely disprove a phenomenon. The bible is not consistent,it has a lot of contradictions. I can give examples to you:" I was specifically talking about canon, not about contradictions, but we'll address that too. "Some parts of the bible that there are things that God can't do: "That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:" - Hebrews 6:18 Your right, there are some things God can't do and that is contradict himself. "And the Lord was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron." - Judges 1:19" God could fully let the Israelites win, but he chose not to, why? 1) Lack of faith on Israel's part (Exo. 23:20-21) 2) disobedience (Judg. 2:1-3,4:1). No contradiction found. "but others say that with God nothing is impossible: "For with God nothing shall be impossible." - Luke 1:37 "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." - Matthew 19:26 "And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God." - Luke 18:27" Matt. and Luke are not contradictory and Luke 1:37 essentially says the same thing. Nothing with God is impossible, therefore that implies that everything is possible. No contradiction. "Indeed,i believe that Jesus existed,but he was no different that all the false prophets himself talked about,just a bit more convincing. And i think that if the bible was indeed the word of God it would be more accurate. And a lot of events in the Bible are easily proved wrong,like the worldwide flood. If there was really a giant flood the fossils of the Grand Canyon wouldn't be organized in the correct layers the same way geology predicts,you would be able to find dinosaur fossils in the same place as bunny fossils,what doesn't happen. Another thing is that the miracles in the bible seem to not happen today. If God really wants to save us why he doesn't make incredible miracles that are not simply unlikely things to happen(like 1000 people dying in an accident and one surviving being considered an miracle) but supernatural things that defy the laws of nature?And you can't know if they were really witnessed by many or someone started to tell tales about him and people believed it." The Bible doesn't teach a global flood, but a local one. The earth in Genesis 6 in Hebrew "Eretz" is mostly used for a local area (2). Ancient people also understood the world to be a local geography (3). Finally, Noah's flood is based on a historical event (4). "The prophecies of the bible are just things that are very unlikely not to happen,like some passages that say that there would be false prophets and mockers. Also,nothing of the book of Revelations really happened,and when people claim they are happening they aren't the way they are in the bible,they are just guessed interpretations with nothing to do with the hermeneutics.By the way,there is a bonus:A Christian following this "empirical evidence" and with no biased opinions" There are false prophets and mockers right now (Richard Dawkins, David Koresh, etc.) to name a few, that proves that it's true. Revelation is proven true. Rev. 11 describes the building of the Third Temple which is currently taking place as we speak (5). Furthermore, science confirms the Bible's foretelling of there being more disasters than ever in the last days (6). Those who don't use hermeunitcs are in error, but i'm using it, so your argument is dead.. "So why there are so many ways to interpret the bible,in a way there is even a field of research dedicated to decipher what the bible means?And why there are so many denominations if there are no "private opinions".How do you know what is the right interpretation?" There is so many ways to interpret the Bible because people are ignorant of it's ancient context. The fact that there are denominations is simply for the fact that people base their beliefs on their own biases, not because the Bible cannot be understood. For example, study the history of the UPCI and you'll see that it's teachings are wrong and based on a faulty understanding of how God works, not only that but it's already based on existing doctrines such as the Trinity which were and are biblical (7).
