Theists: What is the most compelling argument you have heard for Atheism?

[Pat Mustard]

Just out of curiosity, which scientific findings do you think enhance our understanding of which Biblical narratives?

The first thing that comes to mind is human physiology. It sheds light on the Crucifixion, Jesus sweating blood, etc.

And the way Yeshua was supposed to have been crucified per the bible is impossible. Firstly, having the nails pushed through his palms would have meant they ripped through his hands and out between his fingers as soon as any weight was put upon them when he was hoisted (that's why in actual crucifixions, convicts were either nailed through the wrists or tied), and secondly, there is no way he would have died so quickly. With his feet placed on a platform Yeshua would have survived for days before eventually succumbing to a combination of dehydration and exposure unless both his legs were broken (again something the Romans actually knew, because if they were crucifying simply to kill, they broke the convicts legs shortly after placing them on the cross).
