God creates light and separates light from darkness, and day from night, on the first day. Yet he didn't make the light producing objects (the sun and the stars) until the fourth day (1:14-19). 1:3-5

God spends one-sixth of his entire creative effort (the second day) working on a solid firmament. This strange structure, which God calls heaven, is intended to separate the higher waters from the lower waters. This firmament, if it existed, would have been quite an obstacle to our space program. 1:6-8

Plants are made on the third day before there was a sun to drive their photosynthetic processes (1:14-19). 1:11

"And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth." Really? Then why are only a tiny fraction of stars visible from earth? Under the best conditions, no more than five thousand stars are visible from earth with the unaided eye, yet there are hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy and a hundred billion or so galaxies. Yet this verse says that God put the stars in the firmament "to give light" to the earth. 1:17

God makes the animals and parades them before Adam to see if any would strike his fancy. But none seem to have what it takes to please him. Although he was tempted to go for the sheep.) After making the animals, God has Adam name them all. The naming of several million species must have kept Adam busy for a while. 2:18-20

God curses the serpent. From now on the serpent will crawl on his belly and eat dust. One wonders how he got around before -- by hopping on his tail, perhaps? But snakes don't eat dust, do they? 3:14

God curses the ground and causes thorns and thistles to grow.

God created a man and a woman, and he "called their name Adam." So the woman's name was Adam, too! 5:2

God opens the "windows of heaven." He does this every time it rains. 7:11

"The windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained." This happens whenever it stops raining. 8:2 Whatever happened to the Water Cycle?

Noah sends a dove out to see if there was any dry land. But the dove returns without finding any. Then, just seven days later, the dove goes out again and returns with an olive leaf. But how could an olive tree survive the flood? And if any seeds happened to survive, they certainly wouldn't germinate and grow leaves within a seven day period. 8:8-11

Noah kills the "clean beasts" and burns their dead bodies for God. According to 7:8 this would have caused the extinction of all "clean" animals since only two of each were taken onto the ark. "And the Lord smelled a sweet savor." After this God "said in his heart" that he'd never do it again because "man's heart is evil from his youth." So God killed all living things (6:5) because humans are evil, and then promises not to do it again (8:21) because humans are evil. The mind of God is a frightening thing. 8:20-21

According to this verse, all animals fear humans. Although it is true that many do, it is also true that some do not. Sharks and grizzly bears, for example, are generally much less afraid of us than we are of them. 9:2

God worries that people could actually build a tower high enough to reach him (them?) in heaven. 11:4 - Imagine, - long before the discoveries of galaxies and nebulas.

Poor Pharaoh couldn't resist the "very fair" Sarai, and he takes her into his harem. (She must have been well preserved, since she was about seventy years old at the time.) 12:15

collins123: I did not write the article. However, these are wide eyed contradictions. You will agree to that wouldn't you?

collins123: In the scientific world I see most of the above as really inconsistent. However I do not believe in EVOLUTIoN (or rather I havent got the reason to) and i dond think I can.

So Im expecting someone learned in the verses to prove to me beyond resonable doubt that these inconsistensies are not really inconsistencies.

Is that too much to ask for, y'all Born Agains?

kpozite: Look Mr man call your mind back from where it is being led. Though I find it difficult not to believe evolution, I still believe in the Bible and there is a lot of similarity between both (evolution and biblical record of creation) if you understand evolution very well.
Believe me this argument between science and religion has been on for a long time now and no party has won both have their strong point and their short comings. So while scientifically listing the faults of the Bible do well to biblically check out the folly of science as there are much you will be surprised to find. This argument does not pay so effort is now being made to find where both parties agree.

Reyginus: You are still yet to come clean.
Do you agree with the article, Yes or No?

LoaditeDOTcom: I SEE JUST NO CONTRADICTION.
Not even 1. All this are just for ur Short sightedness. REMEMBER THAT NO 1 CAN DEFEND HIM.

Horus: Here is another inconsistency in the bible: Christians believe that a Supernatural being called '' God '' or some kind of '' God '' waved his hand and created the earth and everything in it , In 6 days , and on The 7th Day He Rested '' Slept ''. Right!!. So you mean to say that after working only six days of 24 hours each , your all mighty God got tired ? What foolishness. Can your God tire?. Genesis 2:2 says that God “rested” meaning that he actually ceased, desisted or stopped doing his job. . . . If this is true this would make the God of the Bible in need of a refreshment which means he could be fatigued or weakened.

collins123:

Scientifically, I do. Religiously, I don't.

Did all these happened as it was written or did someone wrote a lie?

You don't need to be brainwashed or filled with the holy spirit to get it. Simple common sense is enough.

collins123: Just stumbled on this from the Internet and I wanted to share. Frankly, they are mind boggling (except to shortsighted people who blindly follow "the crowd" I am a christian i.e I believe in Jesus as the Son of God (Jehovah), our Creator. I am not an Atheist or a Moslem. But I believe I have the right to believe what I think it is right for me.

This thread is open to criticism and bashings but please be abstract and PLEASE HAVE A POINT!!!
