Inconsistencies in Christianity

A significant amount of Christian apologetic is based on the assumption that any system of beliefs that is consistent and complete, automatically exists in the reality, outside our minds. Theologians go to great lengths to tailor claims like divine simplicity without evidence, just to keep everything logical.

Do strings in String Theory exist in reality, outside our minds? Or instead, is space-time quantized in reality, outside our minds, according to the Loop quantum theory?

Remember that both String Theory & Loop quantum theory are consistent for all practical purposes, but it would be unwise to believe strings/quantized space-time is real just because the theories that propose those entities are consistent. Physicists settle these questions through experimentation, and not through speculation from an armchair.

The consistency of first-order arithmetic has been proved assuming that a certain ordinal called ε0 is wellfounded. Does this mean numbers exist in reality, outside of our minds? I don’t think so.

I’ve already described how Christianity does not correspond with reality, so I will be pointing out a few of the inconsistencies in Christianity. There is a lot more than this.

Inconsistencies in Christianity

  1. Shouldn’t something as functionally complex as God be infinitely more unlikely than an accidentally fine-tuned universe or accidental abiogenesis? I mean God is supposed to be all-knowing, almighty and reads 6 Billion minds. That is a lot of functionality! Wouldn’t
    something so functional as God need a intelligent designer according to Christian arguments?
  2. If something as functional as God did NOT need to be created, because it was outside of time, then, wouldn’t it infinitely more likely that it was in fact an functionally simple First Cause that did not need to be created either, because it was outside of time too?
  3. Does any religious scripture speak of divine simplicity? i.e. the unbelievable claim without evidence/analogy that something infinitely functional like God is infinitely simple and therefore could have happened by random chance. (Deut 6:4, Num 39 is not convincing).
  4. We are called to imitate Jesus. (John 8:12). You would stop me if someone/something were going to inject malaria into your children. Jesus does nothing to stop the mosquitoes that inject malaria into countless of children every year and a child dies from malaria every 30 seconds. Should we imitate Jesus? Considering that we know a tree (God) by its fruit (crime of inaction), (Matthew 7:16-20) doesn’t this mean, even if God exists (which is infinitely unlikely based on 1, 2 & 3) it is unworthy of worship because we are morally superior to it?
  5. Why didn’t almighty God sent an animal ahead of Jephthah’s daughter after the Spirit of the Lord came upon him and he promised to kill the first living thing that appears in front of him after the victory over Ammonites? (See Judges 11:29-39)
  6. How to apologists justify God killing all Egyptian first borns? How do apologists justify God drowning all unborn babies in the Great Flood?
  7. Why does an almighty being need apologists, defenders and advocates? Can’t he do it for himself?
  8. If God does not intervene with the fallen creation why do people pray for everything? If the Divine Plan has it that we will inevitably end up praying to God and has everything accounted for, why do religious people say we have freewill?
