Challenge to Atheists

Irredentist said:
For example, at the trial of Jesus in Mark Chapter 15, Jesus says nothing other than "you say I am" when questioned by Pontius Pilate.

But in John chapter 18 Jesus engages in philosophical debate with Pilate at his trial. And it is only in this telling where Pilate gives his famous line, "what is truth?"

So which version is correct? Obviously Jesus cannot both have remained silent at his own trial, and also have had an entire conversation with Pilate. So which account is historical, or are neither?

You don't see any problem with your holy book being written so nebulous and vague that nobody can agree on literally anything?

Also, why is this thread only directed to atheists? You know the 5+ billion believers of other religions also know your book is full of **** too right?

You're just supposed to accept his pronouncements prima facie.

Start at the beginning. Gen 1:2 - And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."

There is no water without a warming sun. It would have been one big ball of ice.

Psalm 84:11

For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
 
Let There Be Light!

Why is a powerful infrared observatory key to seeing the first stars and galaxies that formed in the universe? Why do we even want to see the first stars and galaxies that formed? One reason is... we haven't yet! The microwave COBE and WMAP satellites saw the heat signature left by the Big Bang about 380,000 years after it occurred. But at that point there were no stars and galaxies. In fact the universe was a pretty dark place.

Yet another Biblical error.

You can have a conversation BEFORE the questioning of Pilate
