It's my opinion that it's not up to anyone to disprove the bible (whatever that means); the responsibility lies on the claimant to prove, or at least provide support for, the particular claim(s) of the bible he or she is asserting.

So an offhand response might be "Isn't it amazing how so many people try to prove the Bible and FAIL?" Not very satisfactory, though; a better response might be something along the lines of what I said above.

I honestly don't think there's a source that really does that. You can probably find sources that provide solid arguments against some of the assertions made about or using the bible, but "proof" on such matters is hard to come by.

or some sources that proves the 'good stuff' in the buybull is just that... bull...

Again, "proof" is hard to come by. You can find solid arguments against the "good stuff" of the bible, whatever that is, but I don't know if I'd consider most of it "proof".

You cant really disprove the bible. You can however, disprove interpretations of the bible. A literal interpretation, for example, is easy to disprove.

Of course, failure to prove something wrong, does not prove it right, and failure to prove it right does not prove it wrong. However, it is generally the responsibility of someone making the claim to back it up.

So if he were to say that the bible is truth or has been proven true, its would be his responsibility to back up his claims.

This is not a church-state separaration question or related to secular activism.

It seems to fit best into BC&H.

Hi TerriNPA!

I don't know whethet you've seen this, by Drange, but I think it does a pretty good job of disproving the Bible. The Bible fails by every criteria it can be judged by, so how is it not disproven?

Welcome to the forums!

The problem with such arguments with "true believers" is they will never admit that an error is an error. Show them that Mt and Lk date the birth of Junior to two historically exclusive events and they will spout about "different witnesses seeing different things" and undergo gymnastics that would impress Bela Karoli.

Here, every month or so, a thread starts on "contradictions." Check them out, but I doubt he will accept any of them.

Heck, just knowing there are no large containers of water in space--unless the Government DOES NOT WANT US TO KNOW!--pretty much sinks the biblical flood myth . . . not to mention many others reasons.
