Anyone who thinks the Bible was written by an advanced being, let alone an omniscient god, is so deep into denial that a rational argument with that person is probably impossible. But, I'll add my two cents.

To begin with, the Bible is horribly organized. There is silly duplication of whole paragraphs (word for word!) in a work that should be written as though each word was purchased with a gold coin. That is, considering all the good things that could have been packed in, space is at a premium. An intelligent author would not stupidly waste space! That's a no brainer.

Aside from silly duplication, a massive amount of space is wasted on silly wars and violence. If there was a lesson to be learned here, unlikely in that God organizes much of the rape and genocide, a fraction of that material would have been sufficient. It would also have been clearly labeled as a lesson by an intelligent author.

Speaking of grossly incompetent organization, we find the instructions for salvation scattered over the 8 corners of the Bible! To start with there is a problem in identifying which passages actually relate to the requirements for salvation! Countless Christian sects are divided over this very issue. In some cases it is hard to say whether an instruction was universal or intended for a particular person or situation. Some passages say that good works are the only thing that really counts; others say that only faith counts. Some suggest that both are needed.

Anyone who thinks that this kind of organization is the work of a god, who wants to instruct his people, is truly deep into denial. Facts no longer mean anything. A freshman student taking an English Comprehension course would have had the good sense to collect all the material relating to salvation into one, short book. The instructions would be given clearly and with enough detail to suppress wiggle room, given exactly once in a rational order, and would not be mixed in with any other material. Is that asking too much for mighty God?

The Bible has silly science! Nobody's asking that nuclear physics be given to primitive people. Where science is given it should be reasonably accurate. What is the point of insanely dumbing it down to appeal to a few ignorant tribes only to sow doubt among billions of people in our times? Who said that an ancient reader had to understand everything? Clearly, God would have written some of his Bible for us today. We number in the billions. Is God too stupid to recognize where his main audience is?

Speaking of silly science, God confuses mold with leprosy! I documented that in my thread "Bible Follies: God is Confused About Leprosy and Mold" (07/27/2016). Then there is the business of using the Babylonian concept of the cosmos in Genesis, flat earth and all. I documented that in my thread "Flat-Earth World" (3/23/2016).

The Bible has plenty of erroneous history. Joshua "conquered" cities that didn't exist at that time! Then there is the tale of Noah's ark, an absurdity of such monstrous dimensions that even many Christians say that it must not be taken literally. Adding up the chronological details in the Bible points clearly to an earth that is not much older than 6000 years! Approximately 200 Bible scholars worked on that problem before science provided the answer, and the mean figure they got was around 6000 years. Clearly, that is the age assumed by the Bible. That so many ancient scholars could study the matter at length and come up with that figure means either that God is a totally incompetent writer or else that he was actually intended to present the earth as about 6000 years old.

The Bible is also filled with failed prophecies. The biggest one is Jesus' prophecy of an immediate return, a prophecy given in about 90 different verses! He was "knocking at the door" and would arrive before that generation passed away. The ax had been laid at the base of the tree! Anyone who can go through these 90 odd verses and come away believing that 2000 years later the prophecy is still valid is just plain nuts.

Then there is the prophecy about Nebuchadnezzar conquering Tyre, the island nation. Never happened! In this rare instance the Bible was still being written when the embarrassing truth became clear! Thus, we find an apologetic adjustment. Nebuchadnezzar was going to get his treasure by conquering Egypt. But that didn't happen either! The Bible is filled full of prophecies that failed in the most miserable manner! Of course, those deep in denial can't comprehend such a thing, so they come up with all these weird excuses. Anything but the obvious truth!

There are prophecies that have demonstrably never been fulfilled. Believers say that they will yet be fulfilled, but in many cases the historical stage that makes fulfillment meaningful is no longer there! And, there is no serious prospect of it ever returning!

The Bible is a moral cesspool unless you happen to be looking at the standard collection of ancient wisdom that had been handed down across the Middle East and elsewhere. Whole books have been written on the immoral verses in the Bible, but I could never stomach going more than a few pages or taking a brief look. It's just so depressing.

The Bible also has an ocean of contradictions. Once you understand that "A and not-A" is not how contradictions are identified in actual writing, and once you adopt a reasonable definition, then those great tomes of apologetics by Geisler and Archer fall to pieces. Sometimes whole books in the Bible contradict each other!

An intelligent author would also have made the Bible much more useful by including the modern convention of an index and a detailed table of contents. Verses would have been numbered as was later deemed necessary by mere humans.

There is nothing about the Bible that remotely suggests that it was written by an advanced author, let alone a divine author. People believe in it for the same reason that people believe in the Quran or any of the other holy literature of the world. Most of them were raised from childhood with such beliefs and have been thoroughly brainwashed. Such people will stoop to the silliest arguments to save their bacon. They will focus on some small point and ignore the surrounding mountains!

Mr. Breezy provides an excellent example of the above when he adopts the old canard that God didn't want to confuse ancient readers with modern science. But, as I have pointed out above, that bandage doesn't even begin to cover the huge wound! Indeed, God should be addressing us much more than the ancient few. We are his biggest audience! Moreover, there was never a requirement for an ancient to understand everything in the Bible. Being omniscient, God would have no trouble at all sticking with modern science in a way that doesn't confuse an ancient reader but would ring a bell for a modern reader. I know I could do it, so why not God? The only rational conclusion is that the Bible represents Bronze Age thinking amended by Iron Age authors. It is the result of political compromises, changing ideas, and much later editing to reflect diverse opinions. Some material was lost, and some material barely got voted in even though such was not widely recognized early on.
