There are no Counterexamples to the Bible. This is in contrast with:
- Counterexamples to Evolution (57 and growing)
- Counterexamples to Relativity (22 and growing)
- Counterexamples to an Old Earth (25 and growing)
Opponents of the teachings of the Bible have tried mightily to prove statements in it to be false, but every attempt has failed. Here is a growing list of disproved counterexamples:
- that the wall of Jericho described in the Bible never existed and that people did not live there as described in the Old Testament; 19th century archaeologists could not find evidence of that civilization in the biblical time period.
- Disproof: archaeologist John Garstang discovered an intricate (collapsed) wall of Jericho during digging in 1930-36.
- that Pontius Pilate, described in the Bible as a Judean Roman Prefect who ordered the Crucifixion of Jesus, never held that powerful position.
- Disproof: archeologists excavating an ancient amphitheater in Palestine discovered in 1961 a massive limestone having the inscription, "Pontius Pilate, Prefect of Judea."[1]
- that Genesis is merely mythology and incompatible with scientific evidence.
- Disproof: this typical atheist/evolutionist argument ignores (often willingly) the entire field of Creation Science.
