The refutation also makes no direct material claims that can be or are sourced...Would it be possible to show a refuted example? --[[User:Ctv|Ctv]] 20:40, 17 August 2008 (EDT)

: I've added one for your edification. And by the way, I came up with this one by thinking of what I consider to be one of the all-time silliest criticisms of the Bible, and started editing this article accordingly, convinced that the SAB would be silly enough to repeat it. Sure enough, they do. Tektonic's description of the SAB is spot on. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 10:24, 19 August 2008 (EDT) P.S. Actually, the rebuttal to the pi claim that I linked to mentions that the SAB listed it, but I had forgotten that. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 10:25, 19 August 2008 (EDT)

Given that The Skeptic's Annotated Bible is well over 3,000 pages in length with quite literally thousands upon thousands of claimed contradictions, acts of cruelty, conflicts with history and science and misogyny, I think it is quite disingenuous to dismiss it as being the "equivalent to a brick wall scribbled with graffiti." The author has stated that [https://nexuszine.wordpress.com/2008/09/10/interview-steve-wells-from-the-skeptics-annotated-bible/ it took him nearly twenty years] to write the book and to claim that the book contains no valid arguments because one of the thousands of claims may be incorrect is a poor refutation of this work. I have read it and while I'm not prepared to add to the main page, I highly recommend that those who do actually read the book and come up with more and better examples than the single example presented here. It isn't enough to merely assert that someone is wrong. It must be demonstrated. --[[User:Aaronratner|Aaronratner]] 22:10, 24 June 2015 (EDT)
