Bible Fables... Help me disprove them...?

Question

I am writing a thesis using Math, Science, and History to disprove the Bible. Christianity Parallels many Pagan Religions. It is undebatable that The Greeks, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Canaanites, and etc used fables to explain the unexplainable.

Help me disprove Daniel and the Lions, Jonah and the Whale, David and Goliath, Noah's Ark, Adam and Eve, and etc...

Please no idiot comments about Jesus being Real.... I am not going to be convinced.. there is no Hell so stay away if that is all you have to say...

Answer 1

Pretty difficult to definitively prove or disprove ANYTHING that is 2000 years old. But basic common sense will tell anyone that you can't live in the belly of a whale, you can't turn water into wine, and that giants don't exist. (Neither do 600 year old men and pairs of unicorns, for that matter).

PS: If you won't be convinced that the bible is real, how do you expect others to be convinced that it isn't?

Answer 2

There are far too many irregularities in the Bible, both OT & NT.
Several historic facts can help point you in the right direction;
1/ Judaism was created during the collapse of the Egyptian Empire circa 650BC, when the pharoah issued an edict offering a fully stocked ship to any who wished to leave the country. The architects plundered the tombs of the gold, which the Jewish faith described as 'borrowing', hence the pharoah sending troops after them. Many different groups left Egypt at this time, and the area was later conquered by Alex the Great. As the great Flood happened circa 4000BC, no Jews could have been there. Mostly Sumerians who believed in a religion based on Nephilim. Ergo Noah could not be Jewish.
2/ Jesus (who was a real person, a follower of John the Baptist, but not the son of God, just a reformer) was a Kabbalist Jew, who believed that the Jewish leaders, under Rome, had become greedy and corrupt, and had twisted the teachings of Moses, Elijah etc. Jesus never threatened the Romans, just the Jewish leaders, such as Caephus (High Priest of Judea) & Herod. Jesus hence believed that all humans contain a small part of the divine within them, something the pharoah Arkhenhaten had stolen from the Sumerians (who believed Homo Sapiens were half Nephilim half Homo Erectus), when creating the first monotheist religion, Ra worship. One symbol of Ra is the Golden Calf, which is exactly what the Jews built whilst Moses was off gathering commandments. Coincidence, I think not.
3/ Darwinism proves evolution, therefore Genesis is wrong about the garden of Eden. Apart from which who were the people living in the Land Of Nod if God had only created Adam & Eve. Simple maths.

Hope there is enough reference material there to get you started.
You might also wish to search, Gnostic Gospels, Simon Magus, The Hittite Capitals Libraries (1000s of tablets written circa 1100 with no reference to any biblical people, though referring to Persians, Greeks, Assyrians, Egyptians et al. ergo further proof the Jews did not exist till after then)

PS I am not Anti-Semitic, it is just that Judaism is the root of the OT, NT, Koran etc, so disprove Judaism and you disprove that which claims to be its descendants.

Answer 3

Wow, I can't believe this hasn't been attempted before! You mean NOBODY has ever questioned the veracity or accuracy of the Bible? Gee...what a visionary you are! Well, here's my first 3 thoughts on the subject....

1) You can't disprove Daniel and the Lions. The only references in hisory to it are in the Bible. Whether it happened or not cannot now be "investigated" as you won't even be able to find the scene of the crime.

2) There was very little "miraculous" about David's defeat of Goliath, so I'm not sure why you want to go there. Millitary strategists have known for years that a person with a ranged weapon has the edge on a person without one for years.

3) Jonah was swallowed by a great fish - not a whale. Please get your facts straight before you try to debunk a "fable." This one should be relatively easy to debunk - I suggest you do a personal experiment and get yourself swallowed by a great "fish." If we don't see you vomitted up on the beach in 3 days, you will be vindicated!

Answer 4

During the period of the merchant marine and great shipping lines there was an instance of a sailor who had fallen overboard in a storm and apparently was swallowed by a small sperm whale. By chance the whale was captured and the sailor was found alive in the whales stomach. He was revived and put in a straight jacket and regained his sanity by the time the boat reached land. Apparently there was enough oxygen for him to breathe. You talk about writing a thesis so I assume that you are in college. Why would you do something so lazy and stupid as to use Yahoo for your "research". If you are going to plagarize someone else's thoughts then just look through the thesis archives of your college. You are not the first person to write a thesis one disproving the Bible and most of the people before you had a lot more intelligence.

Answer 5

I recently read three really good books on the Bible: "101 Myths of the Bible", "Misquoting Jesus" and "Holy Blood, Holy Grail". I don't see that these books can disprove anything but they are historically informative. There has been a lot of research into the writings in the Bible as to how, when, why and by whom it was put together, what was put in and what was left out.

I am thoroughly convinced that the Bible is not the "inspired Word of God". It was written by man and manipulated by man to man's own ends.

There is a lot of truth in it and the allegories and
parables are teaching tools. When you take them literally you miss the deeper meaning and thus, the truth.

Just because many people believe something is true doesn't make it true. It only feels true to those who believe it.

Answer 6

Yeah, Sinthyia genuinely has a following right here on Yahoo! solutions. better on your huge understanding Sinthia... in spite of everything, that looks what Yahoo! solutions human beings are about... There are, in spite of the indisputable fact that, a lot of "skeptic's" internet web content dedicated to this question. i'd say they don't look to be extremely skeptic as a lot as only don't have self belief some thing with that many contradictions. of direction, you probable can argue that this does no longer disprove God or Jesus, yet you DO could confess that the Bible has contradictions in case you do not opt for to look nuts. ok, so the authorship became shoddy and not in any respect each man or woman's attitude on their thoughts (the Bible became first scribed lengthy after the debts - Jewish and Christian faith both being initially from oral traditions). in this, i'd say that the Druids were proper. some thing would were lost when we began rote memorization of script truly of putting each little thing to song (note that Jews nonetheless sing their scripture). or you may want to argue some thing became received in that the variety of tremendous number of inconsistencies at the instantaneous are clear. possibly the suited income lets make is that our divisiveness and hatered over non secular ameliorations is stupid. there is not any acceptable faith obtainable, so why make the variety of fuss over it?

Answer 7

This question is like trying to prove that Alexander the Great didn't exist. Although the book doesn't talk about Moses, my book does say that Hatshepsut, the first great woman ruler of Egypt, daughter of Pharaoh, is probably the woman who found Moses in the bulrushes. This is because of ancient writings found where Hatshepsut finds a boy child in bulrushes. Archaeologists have recently found Nebuchadnezzar's hanging gardens, the Bible spoke of. Before they found this, like you, historians thought it was fake.

Historians have also said Belshazzar was fake. They said that they had evidence that only his father, Nabonidus, had lived. In the mid- nineteenth century they found clay tablets near Babylon as evidence of Belshazzar. In Daniel when he was reading the writing on the wall, Belshazzar said that Daniel would be the third ruler in the land. Why would Belshazzar offer Daniel the third highest position in land? It was because Belshazzar was ruling while his father was on a "vacation" in Arabia. Third position was the next highest position. When Daniel got thrown into the lion's den King Darius the Mede was ruling. Daniel also foretold of Alexander the Great's kingdom being divided into four seperate kingdoms. It came true.

The Epic of Gilgamesh, a piece of Babylonian literature, says that there was a universal flood. The Mayans, Incas, Egyptians, and Sumerians all wrote of a universal flood. Anti- Semitism means haters of the decendents of Shem. the Israelites and Arabians are decendents from Shem. The Egyptians are descendents from Mizraim who is the son of Ham. The Romans and Greeks are descendents from Japheth. Shem, Ham, and Japheth are all sons of Noah.

In Esther it talks about Xerxes I or King Ahasuerus banished his Queen Vashti for not parading herself for his army. Xerxes I built the Hellespont Bridge with 674 ships.

In the section of the Red Sea, where Moses crossed with the Israelites, archaelogists have found chariots in the middle of the water. Now, how did they get there?

Many Biblical facts coinside with historical facts. You should look them up. Do a little homework it might help you.

Answer 8

You won't be able to disprove Goliath. Using science and medicine, I recently found out that there is a tumor (a natural one) that is in our heads that controls how tall we grow and some hormones. Sometimes that tumor malfunctions and causes people to have giantism. It is very possible that Goliath was close to nine feet tall, although probably still young. Late teens/early twenties, because people with giantism dvelop problems in their joints as they get older. Also the tumor begins to press on their optic nerves, which may explain why Goliath didn't see David swinging that rock at him. He was half blind. I'm sure in battle he was something to be reckoned with, but against a kid and a small rock, Goliath didn't have a chance. Hows that for science. Sorry I didn't disprove it, but you have a heck of a task because people have been trying to disprove the Bible for centuries. If they couldn't do it, I seriously doubt that you will. Especially since you are asking help in writing a thesis on yahoo?! That doesn't strike me as the most intelligent person, but rather just a controversial one.

Answer 9

You will not be able to disprove The Truth . Its like you going 60 yrs down the road and telling someone about what you did in the past it actually happened. And then having other people there to back up your story.You cant change the past or history its already happened and will continue to happen. If the Bible was called a history book would you believe it then? Thats What it is and you cant change it Stop waisting your time.

Answer 10

people have been trying to make the numbers and science disprove the Bible for a very long time without success. In fact, there are physics doctors that have proven much of the Bible. Regardless, I would bet that a number of the people that hang out on religious boards could help you.
