@DivinelyDesined @jclimacus5 That's not evidence. You've just asserted your conclusion without supporting it at all.

@franklin_j10199 @hackinarticles You can scan the rockit is found in with mass spectrometry, identify any radioactive isotopes (like uranium or argon) and check it's level of decay.

[The Drunken Skeptic @MVervaart]

@hill_adam78881 @franklin_j10199 @hackinarticles Carbon dating is only accurate up to ~65 million years. There are other radiometric dating one can use to date the rock it is found in.

All that you listed is actually very well understood in science. And claiming that Atheists don't believe in anything is a strawman argument.

The fact that YOU don't understand or can't answer those questions without making shit up is YOUR problem.

[Ken Ham @aigkenham]

Atheists may mock Christians for believing in an eternal God, but what do they believe?

Where did matter come from? Why does anything exist? Where did energy come from? Why does time exist? Why does space exist? Is matter eternal? Did matter suddenly come from nowhere for no reason?

They have no answers! They can have all sorts of opinions and beliefs, but the bottom line is that they have no definitive answer at all.

The answers aren’t in atheism—they’re in Genesis!

@GriffonGray @iamAtheistGirl I could go on as the list is quite extensive including Jan Assman, Neil Asher Silberman, Israel Finkelstein, Bart Erhman and Dan McClellan. So when we say "most scholars" we're not just sucking it out of our thumbs. This is the prevailing Biblical Scholarly consensus.

@GriffonGray @iamAtheistGirl Martin Noth

Argues that Moses was NOT the author of Exodus or the Law. He argues that Moses was originally a mythical figure attached to a tiny isolated local tradition that had independent legends attached to the name.

@GriffonGray @iamAtheistGirl Giovanni Garbini (Italian biblical scholar)

Places the creation of the biblical Moses no earlier than 700 BCE & argues that the concept of Moses specifically framing & delivering the Law as a 150 BCE invention.

Myth and History of the Bible (2003)

@GriffonGray @iamAtheistGirl Philip R. Davies

Postulated that the Mosaic covenant and Moses himself was a literary device created by late Judean scribes during the Pursean period to establish administrative and religious authority.

In Search of Ancient Israel (1992)

@GriffonGray @iamAtheistGirl Niels Peter Lemche.

He notes that there is zero (count it) contemporary external historical or archaeological data to validate the existence of Moses.

@GriffonGray @iamAtheistGirl Thomas L. Thompson argued that the stories of the Patriarchal Moses are entirely non-historical.

Maybe educate yourself on the difference between objective & subjective. They're appealing to their subjective morality, the fact that you agree with their morality is more telling about your willingness to worship such a god.

[Not Evolution @NotEvolution1]

Dawkins, who, from one side of his mouth, claims there is no such thing as evil or good, "nothing but blind pitiless indifference", but from the other side claims people that don't believe in evolution are "wicked", and that religion is evil. (Except his own religion)

[The Drunken Skeptic @MVervaart]

@AleashaDot51783 @AtheistOwner Know a lot of atheists personally, do you?

[The Drunken Skeptic @MVervaart]

No scientist ever claimed ALL dinosaurs died from a single asteroid impact. Only those in the immediate blast radius and those unable to adapt to the global condition changes that resulted from it.

But the openness of your lack of education is refreshing.

[The Drunken Skeptic @MVervaart]

That guy has. The fact that YOU choose to reject it and reality doesn't make him unscientific. It makes you a scientific illiterate moron.

[Not Evolution @NotEvolution1]

Unobservable, untestable, unrepeatable, unfalsifiable, ie, unscientific:

[The Drunken Skeptic @MVervaart]

Funny thing is, everyone can now see the creationist lies paired with their Dunning-Kruger syndrome.

Evolution is supported by extensive genetic evidence, including shared DNA sequences across species (humans share ~98% with chimpanzees).

[MrWesford @Tsar_Martyr]

The funniest thing about this, is that it’s the opposite. Every can see now that Atheism and Evolution are lies that no rational human being could believe

[The Drunken Skeptic @MVervaart]

@TheGreek_1000 @iamAtheistGirl

[The Drunken Skeptic @MVervaart]

@GriffonGray @iamAtheistGirl Except most scholars don't say that. But nice strawman.

[The Drunken Skeptic @MVervaart]

@italiathetruth Or Christianity

[The Drunken Skeptic @MVervaart]

And so they should. Religion doesn't belong in schools and the Bible teaches nothing but lies and falsehoods.

[Not Evolution @NotEvolution1]

Secularism is another word for “atheism”

[The Drunken Skeptic @MVervaart]

@sola_chad And what evidence can you present to demonstrate that your religion is the "truth" and all other religions are "false"?

This must be evidence that no other religion could possibly present in support of their faith.
