Default An Argument for Egyptian Paganism
I don't even know if the Egyptians made the connection between dung beetles and tge stars but it sounds like something they'd believe

Not much other that it resembles things uttered by Celsus against the Christians

Doesn't relate to criticism of the bible at all. Biblical criticism was not born out of being against christianity, and is about cooly examining the texts.

I'd suggest making a point against christianity, like this belongs in the Abrahamic religions forum, but I'm interested in the thoughts of others...?
