Something to tell a creationist.

[Shinylight]

2. Revelations is a post Apostolic piece of literature. John Patmos’ “Revelation” is a hallucination he received while in a trance. It is a detailed prediction of the future. It was debunked early in the church by Eusebius in his detailed history of the Christian Church (c. AD 324; see his comments on "Revelation" at Eusebius 3.25). It's a large contradiction on all of the previous books before it which all (fairly uniformly) teach similar values to the accepted one's of modern Christianity. Revelations speaks heavily of salvations through works and actions, which is direct opposition to the Christian doctrine.

So the hallucination of one Biblical figure is held in an unsavoury way, but the hallucinations of many others are thought to be the word of God.

Please explain to me how you can debunk something that can't be 'bunked' in the first place, and why when people debunk(quite accurately) the bible Christians suddenly assume that it was metaphorical?
