Scientific Errors In The Bible by madjnr: 6:14pm On Oct 19, 2015
Scientific Absurdities: 1. Proverbs 6:6-8 , ants have no commander, no ruler and no overseer! This is absurdly false, because ants live in colonies and ranks of rulership and authority. And they have a queen. 1. Compare this falsehood to the Holy Quran's Scientific Miracle about the ants ranks and 4 layers of communications which scientists today have recently confirmed: Ants do indeed talk to each others as the Holy Quran Stated! 2. Revelations 12:1-9 , the dragon will enter heaven and wage war with the angels! It is a classic fairy tale from a magical world. 3. Matthew 27:51-53 , the resurrection of the dead at crucifixion is not mentioned by three gospels , and is considered a fairy tale according to Bibles' commentaries . 4. Judges 9:7-16 , trees voted for their own King. Judges 9:8 "The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them." 5. Carm.org said: "The Bible contains many different styles of writing such as poetry, narration, fiction, history, law, and prophecy and must be interpreted in context of those styles." 6. Leviticus 11:20-23 , "All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be detestable to you." No insect with four legs exists. Insects have six legs and six feet. 7. Leviticus 11:6 "The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a split hoof; it is unclean for you." Rabbits, are lagomorphs, not ruminants; they do not chew the cud. 8. The earth is flat, has four corners, is standing on pillars that prevent it from shaking, and is immovable. ( 1 Samuel 2:8, Job 9:6, Job 38:4, Isaiah 11:12, Revelation 7:1, Job 38:13, Jeremiah 16:19, Daniel 4:11, Psalm 93:1-3, Psalm 96:10, Psalm 104:5, 1 Chronicles 16:30, Matthew 4:8 ) 9. Daniel 4:10-11 declares the earth is flat, "10 These are the visions I saw while lying in my bed: I looked, and there before me stood a tree in the middle of the land. Its height was enormous. 11 The tree grew large and strong and its top touched the sky; it was visible to the ends of the earth." 10. Matthew 13:31-32 "He (Jesus) told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds," The mustard seed is not the smallest of all seeds. Others, such as the orchid seed, are smaller. 11. Mark 16:18 "they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." Christians so bothered by the falsehood of this verse due to the many fatalities they suffered because of it, that the Bible theologians insist on denying these verses by saying: " The most reliable early manuscript and other ancient witnesses do not have Mark 16:9-20." [ 1] [ 2 ]. 12. John 12:24 "I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds." That is scientifically false. The dead seed does not produce new seeds. 13. James 5:3 gold and silver do rust. 14. Genesis 1:16 , GOD Almighty created two lamps, the sun and the moon, each giving an independent light to earth. The Hebrew says "two lamps" , meaning each giving off its independent light. Visit: http://biblelexicon.org/genesis/1-16.htm . 15. Leviticus 12:2-5 , a female causes double the pollution when she's born than that of a boy. The mother remains unclean for 66 days after birth of a female instead of 33 days if she gives birth to a male. 1. Please visit: How do the Bible and the Noble Quran view women? 16. 1 Corinthians 2:15 The spiritual leader is above the law; he is the supreme Law! He "The spiritual man makes judgment about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment." 1. The problem with this verse is that it is absurd at best, because the Christian spiritual leaders of all denominations are historically notorious in getting exposed with too much scandals in corruption, stealing, misusing the donations to themselves, prostitutions, homosexuality, too much pedophilia, and even war mongering and persecutions. So how can any man of any faith, who as a human can go astray any time, be above and beyond the Law that he himself is even looked at and is treated as the Supreme Law?

Because the OP is cumbersome, I will just pick one.

1 Kings 16:6-8 - 26th year of the reign of Asa, Baasha reigned over Israel. 2 Chronicles 16:1 - 36th year of the reign of Asa, Baasha reigned over Israel.

A note from scholars:

"In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa; Baasha began to reign in the third year of Asa, and he reigned twenty-four years. 1Ki 15:33 Thus he died in the twenty-seventh year of Asa's reign. It has been supposed that an error has occurred in the number here given. Numbers were anciently indicated by letters, hence mistakes in transcribing them might more readily occur."

"1-6. In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha ... came up against Judah--Baasha had died several years before this date (1Ki 15:33), and the best biblical critics are agreed in considering this date to be calculated from the separation of the kingdoms, and coincident with the sixteenth year of Asa's reign. This mode of reckoning was, in all likelihood, generally followed in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel, the public annals of the time (2Ch 16:11), the source from which the inspired historian drew his account."

There is nothing of surprise in the post. During translations the transcriber was liable to make mistakes.

Don't be bias and do more research on the OP.



Not as if it will change you from being bias tho.
