Len Hanley: Atheists will not be able to answer some challenge questions

To The Daily Sun,

Atheist challenge questions:

1. As of 2025, the Book of Job was written between approximately 3,525 and 2,425 years ago, and the Book of Isaiah was written between approximately 2,765 and 2,525 years ago. Yet these books of the Bible state the following:

Isaiah 40:22 "It is he who sits above the circle of the Earth ..." 

Job 26:7 "He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the Earth on nothing." 

Humans first ventured into space on April 12, 1961, meaning we first went into space 64 years ago as of 2025. As an atheist, explain how the writers of Isaiah and Job in the Bible got it right before humans went into space using science only. In other words, how did they know?

2. Why is Christianity the top religion in the world with over 2 billion followers?

3. If the Bible is a work of fiction and fairy tales, why does it and the Christian religious holidays based on it upset atheists so much when seen in public? Do actual fairy tales and fictional novels upset them?

4. Since they believe there is no God, because they can't know 100% there isn't seeing, as humans only know 1% or less of everything there is to know, doesn't that make atheism a faith?

5. What is the list of moral standards for atheists and how does it benefit mankind?

6. When they cross a bridge or sit in a chair or drive a car, do they thoroughly investigate them before using them or do they just have faith they will work as intended without failing? 

7. Why do Bibles sell millions of copies and make millions of dollars a year in sales in the U.S. alone and are a best seller in the Guinness Book of Records?

They might want to read Psalm 14:1.
