The Old Testament, or Torah, was given to the Jews by God.

My opponent has only defined God as being perfect, as a creator god, and not being physical. This does not define god too much. What are the properties of a perfect god?Argument IntroductionIn order for Pro's position to be upheld, all parts of it must be true.If any of these are true, then Pro's case fails:1) There is no god2) God cannot interact with the material world3) God did not interact with the material world4) God did not inspire the writings of the Jews Is there a god?The first question to ask is, is there a god? If there is not a god, then there cannot be a god to inspire the writings of the Torah.As god, for the purpose of this debate, is defined with certain attributes (a creator god), if I can show that these attributes are false, then god is falsified.Can god have created the universe?P1) If God created the universe, the universe has a cause.P2) The universe can only have a cause if tensed facts exist.P3) Tensed facts do not exist.C1) The universe does not have a cause (follows from P2 and P3).C2) GOd did not create the universe (follows from P1 and C1). Defense of Premise 1:I am sure that this does not need much for explanation. If God created the universe, the logically god is the cause and the universe is the effect.Defense of Premise 2:The principals of causality require for there to be a movement of time. A before the effect, an after the cause, etc. This requires tensed facts.This point is seemingly agreed upon by all time theorists, even William Lane Craig[1].Defense of Premise 3:To defend premise 3 I will be proposing that the most probable theory of time is the B-Theory of Time.Effects like relativity and time dialation support the B-Theory of Time while refuting the A-Theory of Time (the A-Theory of Time is the theory of time that allows tensed facts to exist).Further support for this premise comes from recent experiments in quantum mechanics. Under the B-Theory of Time, the progression of time is an illusion, and time does not really pass. If one were to have "god view", a view of the universe from outside of it, the universe would appear static.A recent study has shown that the progress of time is an illusion caused from quantum entanglement, and that if you did have "god view" that the universe would actually appear static[2].Could God influence the physical world?Another point is if God could even interact with the material/physical world. If not, then God would be unable to inspire anyone to write the Torah.P1) A fundamental force carrier is required to interact with the material.P2) God is defined as not being physical/material.P3) Fundamental force carriers are physical/material.C1) God does not have any fundamental force carriers (follows from P2 and P3).C2) God cannot interact with the material (follows from P1 and C1).Defence of Premise 1:Modern particle physics has determined that a fundamental force carrier is a requirement to interact with matter[3].Defense of Premise 2:Pro, who defined god, said that god was not physical. This means that this premise is true by definition.Defense of Premise 3:This is also based off the current knowledge of quantum physics, that they are particles.Is the Torah inspired by God?Outside of the above arguments, to look at this, we should look at the origin and compilation of the Torah.Authorship:It is currently the consensus among scholars that the Torah was not actually written by Moses, but by different authors[4].It is currently thought to have been compiled by 4 different sources:1)The Jahwist2) The Elohist3) The Deutoronomist4) The Priestly SourceNot only is the Torah a compilation of 4 different sources, they were written in different centuries, ranging from 900BCE-500BCE[5].It is very unlikely that all 4 authors from these different periods of time were all inspired by god.Conclusions:Based off the definition of God that was provided by Pro, God is an incoherent concept that could not possibly exist. The authorship of the Torah lowers the probability that it was inspired by God.Sources:[1]: http://debunkingchristianity.blogspot.com...[2]: https://medium.com...[3]: [4]: "Reading the Pentateuch: a historical introduction" by John McDermott[5]: "Pentateuchal Studies Today" by Gordon Wenham
