All the material about Urantia Book theology below is divided into small logical chapters and each chapter ends with a question which you should ask adept of Urantia Book during the debate about Urantia Book.
Adepts of Urantia Book claim that Urantia Book contains no errors and no contradictions.

http://truthbook.com/urantia-book/urantia-book-hoax
No one has ever found a contradiction in The Urantia Book, a book of more than one million words. If your story is fictitious, you just can't go on the witness stand for more than twenty-five years to be examined and cross-examined by more than one hundred and fifty people, and never make a single slip-up. To pass such a test you have to be telling the truth.
It is now more than three years since the book was published; several thousand copies have been distributed which have been read by more thousands of people, and yet no one has discovered a contradiction; not even the severest critic has brought forth such an accusation.

Let’s check out these claims of adepts of Urantia Book.



Chapter #1: How many years ago did Adam live.

Urantia Book claims that Adam and Eve lived 38 thousand years ago.

http://www.urantia.org/urantia-book-standardized/paper-74-adam-and-eve
(828.1) 74:0.1 Adam and Eve arrived on Urantia, from the year A.D. 1934, 37,848 years ago. It was in midseason when the Garden was in the height of bloom that they arrived.
The Urantia Book. Paper 74. Adam and Eve. (828.1) 74:0.1

http://www.urantiabook.org/archive/mjs_archive/who-wrote-urantia-book.htm
The first account of the origin of The Urantia Book lies within its own pages. We are told the papers were authorized by high deity authorities and written by numerous supermortal personalities. These papers are designated as the Fifth Epochal Revelation to our planet, Urantia. Dated from 1934 A. D., the five epochal revelations are: (1) Dalamatia—500,000 years ago; (2) Adam and Eve—37,848 years ago; (3) Melchizedek—1980 B. C.; (4) Jesus—7 B. C.; and The Urantia Book —1934-35 A. D.
The authors (revelators) acknowledge the difficulty of portraying the realities of eternity in the language of time. We are told sever limitations were placed on the knowledge they were permitted to share with us. They explain that all time-space revelation is partial and incomplete, needing to be periodically upstepped in the process of planetary development.

However we will remind that Bible clearly states that Adam and Eve lived 6 thousand years ago, or more precisely 5774 years ago. We will remind that Jewish calendar is counted from the creation of Adam (or more precisely – from the creation of the World, however the difference of several days is unimportant) and now it is 5774-th year from the creation of Adam.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_calendar
The Hebrew or Jewish calendar <...>
AM 5773 began at sunset on 16 September 2012 and ended on 4 September 2013. AM 5774 began at sunset on 4 September 2013 and will end on 24 September 2014. AM 5775 will begin at sunset on 24 September 2014 and end on 13 September 2015.
Wikipedia

The counting of time in Jewish calendar is very simple – Bible clearly states how many years did Adam live, how old was Adam when his children were born, how many years did his children live, etc – having this information it is very easy to reconstruct chronological time axis – according to the Bible, the World was created 5774 years ago, the Flood was in year 1656 after the World creation, etc.

Question #1: If the authors of Urantia Book are so incompetent that they don’t even know that Adam and Eve lived 6 thousand years ago, and not 38 thousand years ago, then how can we trust the “knowledge” written in Urantia Book? What is the value of such “knowledge” written in Urantia Book?



Chapter #2: The names of sons of Adam.

Urantia Book claims that Adam and Eve had two sons with the names Adamson and Eveson.

http://www.urantia.org/urantia-book-standardized/paper-76-second-garden
(849.6) 76:3.3 The civil rulers of the Adamites were derived hereditarily from the sons of the first garden. Adam’s first son, Adamson (Adam ben Adam), founded a secondary center of the violet race to the north of the second Eden. Adam’s second son, Eveson, became a masterly leader and administrator; he was the great helper of his father. Eveson lived not quite so long as Adam, and his eldest son, Jansad, became the successor of Adam as the head of the Adamite tribes.
The Urantia Book. Paper 76. The Second Garden. 3. Life in Mesopotamia. (849.6) 76:3.3

However we will remind that Bible clearly states that the names of Adam’s sons were Cain, Abel and Seth.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+4&version=ESV
1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord.”
2 And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground.
Bible. Genesis 4:1-2
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+5&version=ESV
3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.
Bible. Genesis 5:3

It is important to note that the names of sons of urantic-Adam are obviously of English origin and English etymology – the etymology of “Adamson” is “the son of Adam” and the etymology of “Eveson” is “the son of Eve”.

Question #2: What were the names of Adam’s sons: 1) Adamson and Eveson, or 2) Cain, Abel and Seth? What language did Adam speak? Maybe Adam spoke English language because the names of Adam’s sons written in Urantia Book are of obviously English origin?



Chapter #3: The errors of the Bible text.

The adepts of Urantia Book claim that when there is a contradiction between the Bible text and the Urantia Book text then Urantia Book is right and Bible text is erroneous.
As for example, the adepts of Urantia Book claim that Urantia Book is correct about how many years ago did Adam live and Urantia Book is correct about what were the names of Adam’s sons and Bible text is wrong.

Question #3: Please list the complete list of errors in the Bible text. Who is the author of the Bible text if it contains so many errors? Maybe the Bible text was written by Satan?
