Lack Of Foundation to Christianity

• None of the 21 historians of the time and place of Jesus reported a single incident about him. Yet, they reported on other similar figures. They did not even report astounding miracles like the saints raising from the grave or the impossible eclipse.
• There is no corroborating secular evidence for anything in the New Testament. The only evidence for the existence of Jesus is the bible itself.
• The gospel of Mark was written 40 years after Jesus allegedly died. Matthew was written 60 years later. Luke was written 70 years later. John was written 80 years later. The authors were all anonymous. None ever met Jesus. They were not apostles. The gospels were named after apostles somewhat later. The earliest fragment comes from 125 AD, a bit of Greek from the Gospel of John.
• Christians claim Jehovah wrote their bible, but there is no evidence at all for that. The bible is full of scientific error. Surely the creator of the universe would get the details of creation right. Further, the bible contains reference to nothing a creator would have had to know to create this universe such as the elements supernovae, galaxies or quantum mechanics.
• The quality of the most of the writing in the bible is mediocre. It is nowhere near as good as Shakespear’s. Surely a god would do better.
• The four gospels contain almost nothing in common but overall plots. They differ in every detail. This is not reliable testimony. If god truly were the author, surely he would have been consistent.
• Since the bible itself has no foundation, quoting the bible is not a valid way to establish truth or argue the validity of Christianity.
