1. Historical inaccuracies
2. Scientific inaccuracies
3. Internal and external contradictions
4. Written decades to centuries after the alleged events it contains
5. Not written by eye witnesses
1. Ancient records emphasized narrative over factual documentation.
2. Symbolic content cannot be interpreted scientifically.
3. Apparent contradictions are not as problematic as they seem.
4. Original story confirmed by the on-going revelation.
5. So what?
