Is There a Good Argument Against the Bible?

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.

To argue against the Bible, you have to borrow from the Bible in the first place.

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.

For more phenomenal content like this, I encourage you to register for our 2026 Answers Homeschool Experience (May 14–16, 2026)—more than a conference, it’s an experience for the entire family with keynotes, hands-on workshops, behind-the-scenes experiences, and more.

Speakers for next year include myself, Heidi St. John, Emeal (“E.Z.”) and Rachel Zwayne, Costi and Christyne Hinn, and brothers David and Jason Benham.

Register today!

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
