Except that it can't be applied to the magic such as walking on water, turning water into wine, curing leprosy, casting out demons into pigs, rising the dead, transubstantiation, ................

Yea but when we point that out they move it from the reality column to the metaphor column. Problem is the further back in time you go the more people took the bible literally. 

So instead, I like to aim my weapon right at the two most important stories that they cannot move to the metaphor column otherwise their entire religion becomes moot.

1. The birth mythology. It takes TWO sets of DNA to lead to a new baby, so that alone blows the birth myth out of the water.

2. The death mythology. If you were to murder someone in reality as the bible implies in the death myth, nobody comes back from that. Nobody survives rigor mortis. 

But yea sure, there are lots of bullshit claims in that book of myth he knows he cannot defend with science.

And the motifs of raising the dead and curing blindness were in polytheism long before Christianity in any case. Most people don't know or care to know the meaning of the Rx pharmacy symbol meaning. It was actually taken from the ancient Egyptian mythology of the healing god Thot spitting in the eye of Horus to cure his blindness. Thot is represented by the "R" with the arm of the "R" being the spit hitting they lower case "x" the eye of Horus.

Not "pretty well" but "flat out downright discredited". ID is simply creationism revised because theists don't like their illusion destroyed.
