It is not difficult at all to defend the Christian faith. There are plenty of good arguments. Then again there are some that are so monumentally bad that we really need to drive a stake through them once and for all. Here's my top 5.
5. Russian miners accidentally drilled a hole into hell and recorded the sounds of people screaming
This one is all over the internet, complete with audio and all. And it is, as you might expect, a complete hoax. Biblically Hell is still empty. Those bound there are in a holding place right now, until after judgment day.
4. Darwin recanted his theory of evolution on his deathbed
No one close to him, including his wife who was a Christian, have confirmed this story, so there's no reason to believe there's any truth to it. And even if there were, what difference would it make? It wouldn't prove evolution false any more than it would prove evolution true if he died still believing in it.
3. We lose 21 grams of mass when we die
Since Dr. Duncan MacDougall first conducted the experiment in 1907, no one else has been able to reproduce these results. Nothing about how the soul is described in the Bible would lead us to believe that it has any mass at all.
2. NASA has found the missing day of Joshua
Another myth, spread by gullible Christians. Even a basic knowledge of astronomy would be enough to know that you couldn't look at the position of celestial bodies today, and from that find out that some time before their positions were ever recorded the earth and sun stood still in relation to each other. If you don't believe me, call NASA, and ask to talk to the guy who found the missing day. It'll make their day.
1. Men have one less rib than women, which prove the account of the woman being made from a rib in Genesis
Take your significant other to the doctor's office and get X-Rays together. Then we'll talk.
