Will The Internet Kill Religion?

Let's hear your 'facts'. We're waiting.

Let's see Bible was written down in the 6th Century BCE from 5 sources including the Annals of the Kings of Judah and Israel (the main reason for its historical accuracy), Jesus is not based off Horus and all the points used to compare the two do not agree with accepted data from Egyptology (I'm surprised there are still those out there spreading that when most prominent atheists tore that claim apart), a bunch of the issues from Leviticus used as insults against Christians not following them pertain to ancestor worship of the Ammonites (and other tribes), and the "Dark Ages" was when religion lost power to control politics (there were a few overtly religious leaders, but it was rare for that time period).

Obviously, only the Old Testament could be argued to have been written BCE.
The OT is not historically accurate: no Flood, no Egyptian captivity, no flight from Egypt, no great kingdom of Israel, and on and on.
The "Dark Ages" is when Christianity began to gain political power in Europe; by the Middle Ages, it was very well established.

You see, your 'facts' mostly aren't facts.

It is a history of myth, like we can prove the books of Harry Potter were written. But it is not a book of facts or science. It is merely a reflection of the social desires and superstitions of it's time.

So is that why many prominent atheist scholars use the Biblical narrative to corroborate the historical records of other Middle East cultures as well as the archaeological record?

Citation required. I don't know of any 'atheist' scholars who do so.
