No fair!  I wanted hell.  Better not have given him my seat, dammit.  It is kind of cute the way you wave your personal nightmare around as if it should have the same effect on us that it obviously does on you.  Hell - the omni-stick!

Don't believe now, you will when is too late.

Don't say that! You're lying! Why would you lie?! Mom, make the nasty man stop!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

[*] Ken Ham got his ass handed to him. No reasonable person thinks Ham looked anything but ridiculous in that "debate". A whole
            series of memes have been floating around the internet ever since over how ridiculous Ham made Christians look.

[*]I watched that entire Dogdamned "40 Archaeology Facts" video, and it literally went through 20 facts before I found even one,
            not even one, that wasn't just a rehashing of known people in history that the Old Testament writers didn't invent. It's
            a laugh to calls those "proofs" of the Bible, only that the Bible isn't 100% historically inaccurate. And every one of those "proofs"
            glossed over the places where the Bible gets details that we know from other sources about those Egyptian rulers and other
            historical persons wrong. It gets even funnier when you look at the claims about the "Tomb of Joseph Caiphas" because it's a
            strongly disputed find (also, the name on it is not Caiphas, it's "Qafa" or "Qofa" or "Qayafa", and Joseph is a common name), and
            equally silly is to point to the Pontias Pilate inscription, which actually provided evidence against later writers who mention Jesus (like
            Tacitus and Josephus) because it shows the Christians got the info wrong when they talked about the alleged crucifixion.

[*]Your third video is an embarassment. You should feel ashamed to have used it.(nope am proud of him,he made a such an effort) That guy's arguments are so bad that there are
            atheist YouTubers who've made their entire careers out of mocking him! You almost literally picked the worst apologist on YouTube.
            Did you watch these videos before you posted them? For instance, this guy says: "Look, it's very simple. The Big Bang doesn't 
            explain anything. Let me show you why the Big Bang doesn't explain anything. The Big Bang does, uh, it relies on time. It relies
            on space. Those are already there for the Big Bang to occur..."
 

[*]Kent Hovind is even worse than Ken Ham! The man who uses "Doctor" as a title, but got a certificate from here:

No joke. That's really where "Doctor Dino", as he used to call himself, got his degree. A split-level Ranch that was a "diploma mill". 

Look, I know you mean well, and are just trying to do the "raiht thang for Jayzus", but coming in here with weak-ass arguments and a complete misconception about what science is and what it claims just won't cut it around here.

I'm warning you now: I'm a former biologist, and I know what science does and doesn't actually say. Many of us here have degrees in fields related to science and/or mathematics, history, or theology. If you can't bring arguments that are better than that WeakSauce™ you just tried to pawn off on us, you're going to have a very rough life in here. 

Go read a book and learn some science. Real science, not the crap Ham and Hovind peddle.
[*]

I view you comment's highly sceptical,since you seem to ignore the evidence I give to you,in one of the video's I gave to you,contains pure archaeology of the bible.

But the argument is often made more or less, 'If Jesus wasn't real and Christianity isn't true, why do so many people believe it?'

At any given moment, there are likely a billion or more people in the world who believe - deeply, sincerely, and whole-heartedly - in Father Christmas. Why is it that the 'preponderance of belief' argument works for Jesus, but not for Santa?

1.Manuscript Evidence.
2.Archaeological Evidence.
3.Eyewitness Accounts.
4.Corroborating Accounts.
5.Literary Consistency.
6.Prophetic Consistency.
7.Expert Scrutiny.
8.Leader Acceptance. 
9.Global Influence.
10.Changed Lives
11.God’s character
12.Scientific accuracy
13.Claim of the Divine Authorship
14.Unity of the Bible
15.Fulfilled prophecy

Lets talk about one of them scientific accuracy,there are many things in the bible that are accurate with science for example this.

Scientific accuracy of the Bible               Bible is over 1,900 years old.


Fact 1.At a time when it was believed that the earth sat on a large animal or giant(1500 B.C),it says in the bible.
“he hangs the earth upon nothing”(Job 26:7)

Fact 2.Only recently science discovered that everything is composed of things we can’t see..Atoms.The Bible says this:
“things which are seen were not made of things which do appear”(Hebrews 11:3)

Fact 3.The bible mentions that the earth is round way before it was discovered!!
“it is he that sits up the circle of the earth”(Isaiah 40:22)

Fact 4.Mathew Maury found paths in the sea & the Bible mentions this
“paths of the sea”(Psalms 8:8)

Fact 5.it was a scientificial discovery that light can be sent and manifest itself into speech.God asked Job this in the Bible
“can you send lightnings,that they may go,and say to you,here we are?”(Job 38.35)

Fact 6.It was scientifically discovered recently that the earth is weraing out,this can be found in the Bible in the following,(Isaiah 51:6,Psalm 102:25-26, Hebreews 1:11)

Fact 7.Mississipi River dumps 518 billion gallons every day into the Gulf of Mexico.where does it go?The Clouds.the Bible took’s about condensation verse:
“if the clouds be full of rain,they empty themselves upon the earth.”(Ecclesiastes 11:3)

Fact 8.the First Law of Thermodynamics says “neither matter nor energy can be craeted or destroyed”The Bible says:
“The heavens and the earth were FINISHED”(Genesis 2:1)No creation or destruction of them since!

Fact 9.In Genesis 6,God gave Noah the dimentions the ark.This revolutionized ship building! EVERY large ship on the high seas was inclined toward the proportions of thw Ark.

This is not it,there are more than 50 fact's in the bible but am not going state them all,unless you want me to.

Is the scientific accuracy (lol) of these verses the reason why you believe the bible is true, or is this just a Gish gallop?

Santa is only a made up story and therefore it is invalid.But the bible is.

See the miracle of lady of Guadalupe proven to break the laws of science,Google it and you will see that it's so amazing.

Actually, Costanzo and Nickell both reproduced the so-called '3-D' characteristics on the Shroud, and did so without any miracles.
