Can aliens explain everything that happened in the bible?

Parting of the Red Sea - Force fields

Jesus rising from the dead - Medical nanobots

Jesus ascending into the heavens - Antigravity transporters

Noah's Ark - Spaceship, or simply data storage for sequenced genomes

1) Burning bush - Laser

A laser does not in the least resemble a burning bush. Lasers are also not known for their loquacity.

2) Star that guided the 3 wise men - spaceship

If so, the pilot was having trouble with coordinates. The wise men came to Herod's palace first, because (quite naturally) that is where they expected the next king of Judea to be born. The star was portentious. They only used it for direction *after* having established that the new king was not in the royal palace.

3) virgin Mary' - artificial insemination

Not persuasive. "Overshadow" doesn't seem to align with "poke with a needle"

4) tablets written with 10 commandments - laser inscribed?

Why suspect lasers when bronze tools were available?

You missed the really good one. Read this one chapter and tell me he was NOT describing modern aircraft.

NO, because you are trying to make a rational argument that reason is not capable of finding the Truth in these matters. It is a self-refuting argument. How could you be convinced of the truth of the Bible by the same reason that would also render the opposite judgment.

This kind of reasoning Plato hated, Sophistry.

Sophism

A plausible but fallacious argument.

===================

Plato, the most illustrious student of Socrates, depicts Socrates as refuting the sophists in several Dialogues. These texts depict the sophists in an unflattering light, and it is unclear how accurate or fair Plato's representation of them may be; however, it is also suggested that such criticism was often ironic. Another contemporary, the comic playwright Aristophanes, criticizes the sophists as hairsplitting wordsmiths, yet suggests that Socrates was one of their number.

Plato is largely responsible for the modern view of the "sophist" as a greedy instructor who uses rhetorical sleight-of-hand and ambiguities of language in order to deceive, or to support fallacious reasoning. In this view, the sophist is not concerned with truth and justice, but instead seeks power. Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle all challenged the philosophical foundations of sophism.

If aliens can explain everything, why ask us, do we look like aliens?
