What does the study of the Bible, the existence of God and the creationists (or intelligent design) arguments entail?

• History, based on evidence of archeology and external historical records
• Cosmology to compare with the biblical cosmological views
• Textual criticism to reveal authorship, editing, the role of scribes, and contradictions in the Bible
• Knowledge of other scripture and ancient stories to put the biblical ideas and stories in context
• Physical geography, plate tectonics, geology, geomorphology and climatology to compare with the flood story
• Biology, anatomy, biogeography, genetics and phylogeny (classification) to understand the Theory of Evolution
• Argumentation to detect logical fallacies and dishonest tactics
• Creationism and Intelligent Design to understand their framework, history and techniques
