Is There a Good Argument Against the Bible?
No.
Have you ever heard a good argument against the truth of God’s Word? Now, there are some arguments that are harder to answer than others (though most, I find, are just based on a misunderstanding of what the Bible teaches), but are there any that are actually good arguments?
Well, no, actually, there aren’t! And why not? Because to argue against the Bible, you have to borrow from the Bible in the first place. In other words, just to make your argument against the truth of God’s Word, you are assuming the truth of the Bible.
How does this work? Well, imagine an atheist tells you (as I’ve had them tell me) that they won’t believe the Bible because God is supposedly a genocidal, self-obsessed maniac. This argument assumes being genocidal and self-obsessed (neither of which is true about God, by the way) are both wrong. But why?
In the atheistic worldview, there is no such thing as right or wrong, good or evil. Morality is completely subjective. But this atheist is assuming there are moral absolutes . . . which come from the Bible and the eternal Creator God! So to make his argument, he’s assuming as true what he claims to believe is false.
At our Answers Homeschool Experience at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum this past spring, Dr. Jason Lisle of the Biblical Science Institute presented on why there are zero rational arguments against the truth of Scripture. It’s a wonderful presentation on presuppositional apologetics, and I encourage you to share it, particularly with teens and young people. You can watch it in full here or on our YouTube channel.

It's really sad when secular scientists can't admit that their judgements in science are wrong being so adamant on being right. The come to the conclusion that science will never discredit the Word of God for fear of being ridiculed for believing the Truth rather than the lie.
