We can prove though that the twelve Gods and Goddesses of ancient Greece don't exist because they were supposed to live on the mount Olympus and there aren't any Gods there.

Mythology is in line with what human beings mentioned or informed one yet another, to describe organic phenomena that they did no longer comprehend. in the event that they observed thunder for the 1st time they had be like, "Oh, that's Zeus getting offended." and not, you comprehend "there's a typhoon brewing"! particularly, there is not any "proving" mythology, it is in basic terms an entire perception equipment that became into created interior the previous and is a factor of ecu history and custom.

There is a subtle fallacy in your drawing a comparison between Greek mythology and Christianity:
The term 'Greek mythology' is predicated upon a beleif in beings who are not transcendental but basically super-human and part of nature [they are subject to 'fate' and can become ill {V. Ares trapped in a jar and almost dying}]. The Judeo-Christian God is non-human and beyond nature.
A purely empirical approach will resolve the question of the reality of the Olympians as they are tied to our world.
Hence, it is the fallacy of the over-extended term to compare the two as their respective predicates are radically different and not united as you assumed.

I think science proves that Greek mythology is false, as the Earth's geology and formation leave no room for a battle of the Gods and Titans.

First of all why are you looking for an excuse not to believe in Christ?Could it be that your soul is thirsty for truth and answers.Maybe you are afraid that Christians are right because that would mean you would have to surrender your own ego and sense of control.
Nothing can be proven only believed,if you believe in Christ with you whole heart,body,mind and soul,you will not be dissapointed.Jesus promised he would never foresake us.
I've seen thousands of people completely changed by surrendering themselves to Christ.I was just like you always questioning trying to find a rational disagreement to why Christianity is false.I even decided to accept the challenge of accepting Jesus into my heart,I didn't believe it was going to work,I didn't believe it was true,but you know something my life was completely turned around the instant i surrendered to his love,and so will yours,that is all the proof you will ever need.

They can't prove it's genuine either. There is no evidence to back it up. I can't offer a reason to believe it, it relies upon blind faith. Just ignore common sense and reason and you may well be sucked in too.

Why should we prove it? If we could prove it beyond a doubt, then we wouldn't need faith. And the Bible says that "by Faith you are saved". Not by proof. So even if we could, or did prove it to you, it wouldn't do you any good, and could hurt us too. So I can't even imagine why we would try. Becuase if you have proof, you don't need faith.

no organized religion offers all the answers, only thing you can do is read about them all and try to discover bits of truth within them
