There is no evidence that supports the bible as Historical fact. Any historian would tell you this, any archeologist would tell you this.

The absence of evidence supports this, because there -should- be evidence that he did. He existed on this planet, and should have left evidence of his existence behind.

There were numerous scholars who would have written about such a man at the time if he indeed existed, and a complete lack of other physical evidence.

The evidence we have contradicts it.

The theist sets himself up with his own argument. Let´s say the rapist aliens believed in a god, but didn´t believe humans had souls? Then they´d be fine with doing to us what we do to animals. Religious people don´t believe in animals having souls and humans readily use animals for their needs in ways that would be considered immoral if done to other humans.

What is the absolute morality of an omnipotent god, supposedly the author of the laws, making cancer, genocide etc. happen?

@Sakib241 That's hard to say, I mean in Salem they burned people they thought were Witches, you'd think IF they thought they were real Witches they would have been scared to try such a thing.

Now look, the greatest proof that Jesus did no miracles and was no GOD is that the Romans had the guts to crucify him. If he really did shit like that, nobody would dare touch him let alone crucify. Jesus failed to convince even the superstitious jews and myth-hugging Romans. His only followers were some fishermen. Really. That`s an all powerful GOD. He is short by some standards.

@carrotsan by "such a man" do you mean Jesus? I think you are reaching with your statements.

@bestinfadel That's a cute little opinion, but you've completely missed the point of dare I say it, the entire debate. If I asked you to provide evidence against the existence of the tooth fairy; you couldn't. So I win, and the tooth fairy exists, right? Use your brain... think.

well done Craig, objective morals don't exist.

[bestinfadel]

the theist wins hands down , the atheist had no answers , as a atheist he actually admitted that there is a possibilty that god does exist, he now is an agnostic lol

Bible never says rape is wrong. Or child abuse or slavery. FAIL...

As much as cringe whenever i see ANY debate involving a christian, i have to give this to Dr. Craig. He did a fine job aside of the Jesus and "christian god" gobbledygook. If only Christians can do as well when Christianity ITSELF is the topic. I saw a debate with Dr. Craig "was jesus god or man", he had to reference Avataar the movie to show a being with dual natures can exist, i almost died of humiliation FOR the guy.

Craig is so clever.
