Neil DeGrasse Tyson on Disproving God

[masterofpuppets]

So if the 27 documents of the Bible are all evidence as SteveII says, then why are there so many contradictions in the Bible? Christians will deny these contradictions yet they are conspicuous in their abundance.

This is one of the reasons the Bible cannot be evidence and is much more akin to mythology. Scientifically and historically inaccurate, and ridden with contradictions.

After reading the above, please explain to me how the Bible is still evidence.

Most of the apparent contradictions are the result of:

1) Applying a only a literalist heurmenutic. In other words, they are reading it the same way religious fundamentalists would.
2) Failure to distinguish between historical information, allegories, allusions, metaphors, and figurative language.
3) Divorcing the text from authorial intent. In other words, ignoring what the text would have meant to readers during the time it was written.
4) Giving inordinate significance to trivial differences.

In other word, the writer at infidels had no interest in understanding the text. He was only interested in promoting his agenda and in so doing made an ass of himself. If you take him seriously you are a fool.

You seem to be making an awful lot of assumptions. Even if what you claim is true, the Bible would still not be good evidence because it seems impossible to distinguish between what should and should not be interpreted as true in the Bible. Without being able to make this distinction, the Bible is useless in terms of evidence.
