So.

Just a statement.

So you admit that you cannot defend your position with any proof?

When I debunk this then you are completely debunked.
You use words like "None" and 100%
That leaves you no room to back peddle. You atheist make this way to easy!
"Until very recently, there was no evidence outside the Bible for the existence of King David. There are no references to him in Egyptian, Syrian or Assyrian documents of the time, and the many archaeological digs in the City of David failed to turn up so much as a mention of his name. Then, on July 21, 1993, a team of archaeologists led by Prof. Avraham Biran, excavating Tel Dan in the northern Galilee, found a triangular piece of basalt rock, measuring 23 x 36 cm. inscribed in Aramaic. It was subsequently identified as part of a victory pillar erected by the king of Syria and later smashed by an Israelite ruler. The inscription, which dates to the ninth century BC, that is to say, about a century after David was thought to have ruled Israel, includes the words Beit David ("House" or "Dynasty" of David"). It is the first near-contemporaneous reference to David ever found. It is conclusive; it does strongly indicate that a king called David established a dynasty in Israel during the relevant period as stated in the Bible.

I looked for this and found...
"It is the first near-contemporaneous reference to David ever found. It is NOT conclusive; BUT it does strongly indicate that a king called David established a dynasty in Israel during the relevant period."

The emphasis is mine, but I wanted to point it out.

Where did you get your quote from?

This source also says:
"The Bible is not - and was never intended to be - a historical document."

"It says plants were growing before there was a sun."
So? They were growing before there was a Sun but not before there was light.

Again, showing that the story is just a myth. Light for plants to grow, in fact, day and night, before there wasn't a sun. Absurd.

"10K species of birds"
The Bible uses the word "Kind" not species. All Ducks would be one "kind" even though there are many Duck species.
Try educating yourself on the Bible before you choose to hate it.

"Kind" isn't a species? Then where did all the species come from after the flood? Did they evolve?

So what?

I've only said that a thousand times.

Faith:

faith\ˈfāth\
noun
1 : firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2): complete trust

Just like atheism! No proof of no God or gods.

You'll be able to bring up your frustration with the creator one day

I can respect that, but not believing in something is not based in faith it is based in non-belief.

At least you are honest with yourself.

[Langoliers]

You know what's really funny?

Because God and Heaven and Hell all exist outside of time. No past, present or future. That means all these atheist are already in Hell. And the Theist are seating in heaven right now.

If there is no time for God, Heaven or Hell, then they can't exist, that requires time.

Your shroud of Turin style fantasy has already been soundly debunked. Sorry the bible is a myth.

Even if a King David was found it doesn't prove it was the bible one nor does it prove any of the miracles in the bible. Spider-Man met Obama who is real but that doesn't mean there really is a Spider-Man fighting Venom in NYC.

Your faith is built on a hallow lie.

"There is little proof of the use of slaves in Egypt or of the Exodus, of the conquering of the Canaanites by the Israelites or (prior to 1993) of King David’s reign. But absence of proof is not proof of absence. It only takes one find to change that picture.
For example, until 1993 there was no proof of the existence of King David or even of Israel as a nation prior to Solomon. Then in 1993 archeologists found proof of King David's existence outside the Bible. At an ancient mound called Tel Dan, in the north of Israel, words carved into a chunk of basalt were translated as "House of David" and "King of Israel" proving that he was more than just a legend.
Then in 2005 Israeli archaeologist Eilat Mazar found King David's palace relying on the Bible as one of her many tools. She says,“What is amazing about the Bible is that very often we see that it is very accurate and sometimes amazingly accurate.”(from Using the Bible As Her Guide http://www.thetrumpet.com/... accessed March 1, 2011 )
In 1990 Frank Yurco, an Egyptologist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, used hieroglyphic clues from a monolith known as the Merneptah Stele to identify figures in a Luxor wall relief as ancient Israelites. The stele itself, dated to 1207 B.C. celebrates a military victory by the Pharaoh Merneptah.“Israel is laid waste” it reads. This lets us know the Israelites were a separate people more than 3,000 years ago."

They do not exist in this universe and are not held to this universes laws of physics.

How dumb can one be? You are
Just plain Stupid.

You're going to try and hold God to a dictionary definition of the word "time" in a sad attempt to counter the definition of the word you use to describe your religion.

LMAO.

What a Dolt!

If they do not exist in this universe, how can their existence be detected at all? Seems to me, you've been listening to some ancient goat herder fables again.

Really? So in any conversation about God, we should use definitions of words that are not as defined in the dictionary?

Who's looking stupid now?

So since we are using definitions of words that are not in the dictionary, what you are really saying is, "You are correct, I am an absolute imbecile and I have no idea what I am talking about."

Right? I mean think about it, if the words I just used are not as defined in the dictionary then we could be in raging agreement and you would never know.

Dumb azz!!
