About 6,000-10,000 years ago, the bible claims Adam and Eve were the first humans on this planet. That differs from scientific fact, that humans are at least 150,000 years old.. Need I go farther?
Also, just straightforward reasoning such as: Where are all the firsthand eyewitness written testimony of jesus's miracles he performed during his life? You would think if the only begotten son of god came to earth and performed miracles, someone would have written about it. Even if there were thousands of written statements, that shouldn't be good evidence to anyone anyway, but you would think at least that much would exist.
The bible disproves itself, that part is obvious. Would you go as far to say as the god of the bible can be disproved using the bible and/or logic? Feel free to quote more infallible passages.
First of all, the creation accounts were likely myths, speaking the truth that there is one God who created everything.
How do you distinguish what is a myth? The creation story is a myth, but the jesus walking on water story isn't? How about Jonah, Samson, the talking burning bush, moses parting the Red Sea, etc.?
