Common Sense Versus The Bible
by Dave Matson.
Broad, common sense arguments that unmistakably point to a manmade Bible, a collection of manuscripts, of poetry, history, song, and moral advice, it is also the work of man. Fallible man wrote the Bible, from beginning to end.Killing, Killing, and More Killing
Questioning the bloody and murderous content found within the pages of the Holy Bible.Super Feats of Brutality and Incompetence
Examples of brutality, incompetance, immaturity, and violence on behalf of the bronze age god Jehovah.A Supernatural War Criminal
Autrocities and crimes commanded by Jehovah to Moses, Joshua and the armies of Israel, including rape and the murder of babies. Revealing insight into the savage nature of the ancient Hebrew people.Brutality at Home
Revealing brutalities committed by Jehovah against his own people during the Old Testament, including inexcusable acts of retribution in the New Testament.Hell: Mindless Brutality at its Worst
The concept of Hell, its origins, its lunacy, it's contradictions, it's illogical role in Christianity.Slavery
Biblical passages which speak of slavery, a custom which Jehovah and Jesus failed to condemn.A God of Foreskins
Circumcision in the Bible, the work of man, not God. Other cultures in Biblical times who practiced circumcision yet it yielded no favor with Jehovah.The Tribal Gods
Religion is typically egocentric. Never occurring to ancient man that their gods should be concerned with the well being of all peoples, in this regard Yahweh acts no differently than Chemosh, the god of the Moabites, or Baal.Silly Laws Attributed to God
Some biblical laws used in divination by priests, invented out of superstition and ignorance.Does God Need Praise and Glory?
The Absurdity of an Almighty God need be surrounded by creations who worship, praise and adore. This concept found in the Bible is a manmade creation.An Ocean of Contradictions
Some of the many contradictions and errors found within Holy Scripture, a clear sign God did not write the Bible.The Bible Knows Nothing of Science
Indepth and informative critique of Noah's Ark and the worldwide flood. Further calls into question flood geology and evolution of the varities of species.A Cold Waste of Space
If God were the author of the Bible, why the wasted space in the Bible with duplicated text?Prophecy in the Bible
On the failure of Biblical Prophecy. Passages in the Bible indicate a belief the end time would come in their generation and Bible-Believers attempts at explaining away the failure of prophecy.The All-Important Matter of Salvation
What exactly does Scripture teach man must do to become saved?Bible Errors
by Dave Matson.
Contradictions within the Gospels, the problem with Assyria and Ninevah, contradictions in the books of Hosea and II Kings, and early views on Heaven.How Good Are Those Young-Earth Arguments? (1995)
also located here
A comprehensive, point-by-point refutation young-Earth arguments and other creationist claims made by Dr. Kent Hovind ("young Earth creationist and dinosaur hunter") in the Hovind-Patterson debate.Rejoinder to Cliff Hanlon's "Three R's" (1998) by Dave Matson
"Only a small part of my argument is based on a radiometric clock, and there is not the slightest evidence that such clocks, as a whole, have ever been 'reset.'"
[Editor's Note: This is Matson's response to a now-nonexistent offsite "rebuttal" by Cliff Hanlon which was entitled "The Three R's or Relating Radiometric Relativity" and which allegedly rebutted Matson's claim that the arrival of light from an exploding star, known as supernova 1987A, disproves young-earth creationism.]
