Hey Christians, what excuses can you drum up this time?

[themickey]

If you were to prove the bible was wrong to christians, would they still believe the bible was God's word?
Definiteĺy!
When cultist want to believe lies, they'll believe lies, they're happy to believe lies, theyre content in delusion. Don't rock the boat. Delusion is comfortable, reality is confronting.
When you're dishonest with yourself, who wants honesty?

Present day elephants live about 70 years, the same lifespan of humans roughly speaking.
Mammoth elephants (prehistoric elephants) they claim lived about 40 years.
Noah lived about 950 years according to the bible.
Right, so elephants which have about the same lifespan as humans, for some stretch of the imagination had different lifespans from humans in Noahs day.

Now there's a reason to exagerate lifespans in the old testament, and here's the reason.

The geneology from Adam and Eve to Noah looks like this....

From Adam & Eve to Noah was about 9 generations.
Adam & Eve were the first created humans on Earth according to Genesis.
Noah was born about 3000BC and died about 2000BC according to scholars.
Adam & Eve were apparantly on earth about 5th to 6th BC according to Britannica.

According to WIKI, in the 6th millenium (6000BC), there were 40 million people world wide.

in the 7th millenium (earlier) there were 10 million people worldwide.
There were populations in Europe, Turkey, Egypt, Syria, Asia, Norway.
They say aboriginal Australian's were present 50,000 years ago.

So Adam & Eve were the first persons according to the bible while history claims there were millions of people on earth at that time.

Many many years ago, the church disbelieved in dinoraurs, they claimed it was a deliberate hoax, scam, put out by evil evolutionists to discredit God. This as the bible never mentioned dinosaurs. There was a levithian mentioned but there were theories it was talking about hippos or crocodiles or whales or a sea serpent of some sorts (maybe giant squid).

The Andean civilizations were South American complex societies of many indigenous people.[1] They stretched down the spine of the Andes for 4,000 km (2,500 mi) from southern Colombia, to Ecuador and Peru, including the deserts of coastal Peru, to north Chile and northwest Argentina. Archaeologists believe that Andean civilizations first developed on the narrow coastal plain of the Pacific Ocean......
......After the first humans — who were then arranged into hunter-gatherer tribal groups — arrived in South America via the Isthmus of Panama, they spread out across the continent, with the earliest evidence for settlement in the Andean region dating to circa 15,000 BCE, in what archaeologists call the Lithic Period. In the ensuing Andean preceramic period, plants began to be widely cultivated, and first complex society, Caral-Supe civilization, emerged at 3500 BCE, and lasted until 1800 BCE. Also, distinct religious centres emerged, such as the Kotosh Religious Tradition in the highlands.

Of course these religions were evil, of the devil, as they didn't know b'jesus.
It's only since the American evangelist in their slippery white shoes came along - the Billy Grahams and televangelists, only since then has the world been enlightened as to truth.

Good people are murdered, enslaved etc everyday by lifetime bad people.

If there were a God this shouldn't happen.

"It's all part of God's plan". Fuck off with that shit.

We came from monkeys, vicious selfish fiends = oligarchs wasting our lives until everyone's dead inside.
There's something about the idea of monopoly, we follow what surrounds us.
If what surrounds us is an artificial manipulative construct, then we are trapped in the matrix.

That’s a lot of effort to disprove a mythological story.

Conquistadors: So when did your ancestors get here after the flood?

Andeans: What flood?

Conquistadores: They have to go.

"Deconversion Syndrome" mentioned in the link or Exit syndrome are not super common terms, but refer to the psychological and emotional challenges faced by people leaving a (high-demand usually) religion they were raised in. There can be great difficulty in simply laying it aside after intellectual understanding makes it look ridiculous.

There is an interesting post about it from a non-Christian angle here.
