If the global flood and creation in six days is proved false, does this disprove Christianity?

If Jesus' tomb had been found?

Is there any (hypothetical) fact that could shake Christian foundations?

If Krishna came down from Heaven and started doing miracles and smiting Christians.

In fact I'm wrong. They'd just say he was the antichrist....

If Jesus's tomb was found, and it was PROVEN that it was THE Jesus's tomb, yes, Christianity would be disproven.

If the global flood and creation in six days are proven absolutely false, it wouldn't change a thing. It would simply mean that THOSE parts of the Bible weren't to be taken literally. It would also possibly prove that the Bible isn't the Word of God.

Other than that, there isn't anything.

Even if Aliens showed up and demonstrated that the Bible was a hoax, and they pulled out their Angel and God costumes, and demonstrated how they parted the Red Sea, and showed video of the crucifixion and how it was faked....

Most Christians would claim that it was a trick by the Devil. And they would continue their faith.

(this is just an example. I'm not suggesting that aliens exist or that the Red Sea was actually parted, or that the crucifixion was faked)

Modern Archeology has already shown that Israelites were never in Egypt, did not wander in the desert, did not conquer the land in a military campaign and did not pass it on to the 12 tribes of Israel. Archeology has also demonstrated that the united monarchy of David and Solomon, which is described by the Bible as a regional power, was at most a small tribal kingdom, and at worst nothing but a myth. Archaeologist in Israel have been searching for years for any evidence whatsoever that Solomon built a 1st Temple under the ruins of the 2nd Temple, and so far have uncovered nothing.

Yet Christians and Jews continue to believe their falsified history.

A global flood was proven impossible long ago.

A flood of that magnitude would have left evidence over every piece of land, not just scattered remnants, there is no evidence anywhere of a global flood.

There is only so much water in our atmosphere. Now I, a student of the Bible, realize that the text says something(probably geysers) under the sea broke open, but even with all the water in the earths crust we would still not have enough water by a longshot.

Another option is a giant comet, which carry large amounts of water, but again, not even close to enough H20, and our planet would be immensely damaged.

Lets say God just made the water appear, and then made it all vanish from our atmosphere when Noah landed. With the amount of water it would take to flood the earth above the Himalayas, approximately 4 times the water presently on Earth, a person would literally drown instantly, only by breathing in the air! And this goes for almost all land mammals.

Another thing that raises a flag is that the scriptures say the ark was made solely out of wood. This in itself is not the problem, as most of the boats of the time were. The measurements were given pointing to an ark nearly the size of the titanic. A boat this size made out of wood would have sunk in the water within minutes, even if there was no cargo aboard. The cargo would have weighted more the boat itself.

And of course we now know with 100% certainty that animals have been here longer than 6-12 k years. You can look at them from countless scientific fields.

Christianity is the following of Christ. Finding Jesus' tomb would only confirm Christ.

There is already science which proves parts of the bible false. There could be (hypothetically) scriptures which were never included in the bible which contradict other scriptures. Hence why they weren't put in there.

To the strictest "believers" nothing would cause them to loose faith. There can be (and is) plenty of evidence to disprove or cause sever doubt in Christianity.

I think what you really meant to ask is "What could disprove belief in god"

Why you would or how you can "disprove" a religion is far from me, but regarding the truth of Jesus Christ as reported in scripture, let me say this:

To any born again believer, the idea there is no Christ is obsurdity and men's ignorance.

I know that Christ lived, died and rose again on the third day. He is alive today and I know this because HE LIVES IN ME!!

End of discussion.

Jesus[ pbuh ] himself will Disprove christianity in his
second comming.This is the reason why God almighty took
jesus [pbuh] alive unto himself and he will send him again to
clear the misconception that he was a God , or the Son of
God.As we know in the long line of Messengers that were
appointed by almighty God to spread his message, the
christians are the only people who took their Messenger to
be a God .
The christian will hold on to his belief even if it takes him to hell. with them is a no win situation.If you prove to them in
black and white that the Bible cannot be the actual word of
God because of its inconsistences, contradictions,
absurdities, obscenties and grave scientific errors, they will
Fall back on Faith, If you question them about blind faith they
will try to prove their doctrines from the Bible.They pretend
that they are are the followers of jesus [pbuh] but in fact all they want is the blood of jesus [Pbuh ].Saint Paul the self
proclaimed thirteenth Disiple of jesus [pbuh] says in
1 Cornthians 18;17; ''and if Christ be not raised, your faith is
vain, ye are yet sinners ''.So eventually the Cross is all that the
christains have to hold onto.
Jesus says in Mathew, 13;13,''...seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, nor do they understand''

Christianity is something what happened. It is an historical event. I love my Lord and I believe that the Bible is true. No one can stop the Word of God. But you can prevent your heart for opening up to God. You have a free will. : )

confident. So does information the Jewish theology in the back of the words and ideas that Christianity pretends to have taken over. issues like the surely function of the Messiah, who extra than likely should not be a deity and is no longer to be worshiped. The incorporeal and indivisible nature of G-d (no components, no incarnations or strolling approximately in the flesh). How atonement applications (blood is unquestionably no longer required). The utter abhorrence wherein Judaism holds human sacrifice. So if Christian theology does not come from Judaism like it pretends to, the place does it come from? Roman amalgamations of Greek Stoic philosophy, the Eleusinian mysteries and the Egyptian Osirian mysteries from which they in turn derive. issues like devotees who believed that they took on the eternal existence of their deity for the period of the ritual intake of his physique in the type of baked wheat tarts. study up on that and all of it makes so plenty extra experience. upload in the political tensions in first century Judea and how peeved the Romans have been that Jews insisted on angering Roman deities by refusing to worship them (and noticeably the barking mad emperors who fancied themselves to be their incarnations) and the insertion of an incarnate pagan deity right into a pretend-Judaism starts to make experience. look at what number Messianic applicants there have been and the Jewish tendency to regulate their revolts around them and this different-worldly cheek-turning Caesar-rendering revamp of the Messiah replace into in basic terms a wee bit too handy to be a accident. as quickly as Christians supply up repeating their historical lies approximately Judaism, i will supply up telling the fact approximately Christianity.

I've asked a similar question before, and I've generally gotten the answer that nothing will ever be enough to cause someone to lose their faith.
Obviously, that's not true because people do lose faith all the time, but it does point to the foundations of faith and what causes it to live or die.

I dont believe there is anything that could be proven to be false that would shake Christian foundations.. To this date the Holy Bible is one of the most historically accurate book. Acouple nights ago they had a thing on dicovery about finding Jesus' tomb and they do this huge documentary and at the end they are like its very unlikely this is it and just completely rebute everything they say in the last 5 min is what i got out of it.
