You Atheists have no "data" and so that is your only line of defense to claim that Bible believers have no data.
Lets take a look at a little piece of the data we have but first, lets start with some assumptions.
Assumption-Your a creationist that believes genesis as it is written
Assumption-I'll assume the bible is literal just like you do
Assumption-Theres only one creation account in Genesis and it is Chap 1
Now lets start with the data
1)The sun was created on the forth day
2)A day in planet earth means the 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness (If you live close to the equator as I do. If not youll experience drastic changes of light and darkness hours in summer and winter the closer you get to the poles)
3)There is no possible way of concluding based on a literal biblical interpretation of genesis that the first three days wee 24 hr periods. They could be 48 hr periods, 96 hr periods, years etc. Saying they were also 24 hr periods is just pure speculation and dishonest.
THis of course raises more questions
1) What was the source of light for the first three days?
2) What separated day from night? Did God have a flashlight or something he just turned on and off when he felt like it?
This is what we have from an honest reading of genesis assuming it is literal truth. The rest, is just people's imagination.

You mean the old testament genocides. Oh yeah. You should feel very proud of that don't you? I'm gonna recommend you a book. It's called t\The Bible Unearthed. Go check it out at Amazon or something and see what modern archeology has to say about that statement.

The Ottoman Empire surrendered "unconditionally" to the British General, Edmond Allenby, on Nov. 29, 1918.
I'm sorry I got a bit lost here. THis proves exactly what?

Jesus had John write this in AD 67, Revelation 16; "Armageddon."
So are you saying that the surrender of the ottoman empire to the British was armageddon? I thought Christians were sti waiting for this one.

Can you Atheists match anything like that?
Well an atheist was the one responsible for developing the windows software youre using right now to make such contemptible statements. Atheist doctor sequenced DNA. Skeptic literature is much better on purely literary grounds than the bible. Take Salman Rushdie for example and compare him to Tim Lahaye's crappy novels for example. I could go on forever.
With my eyes there's nothing you can do that I can't see through.
