The major contradiction I found is "In the beginning god created the heaven and the earth." If god already existed to create the heaven and the earth, then how could this be the beginning? The beginning must have been when god was created (ex nihilo?). Or, if god had existed forever, there simply was no beginning. And where did god reside before he created heaven? Apparently, the heaven that good people go to when they die is NOT the abode of god! He probably wouldn't like that bright light in his eyes all the time.
I suspect the bible has other contradictions, but this is as far as I've read so far.

(IL)logic proves a dodecatinity.
1. Mickey Mouse exists (as a real flesh and blood individual).
2. Mickey Mouse wears pants and drives a car.
3. I exist (as a real flesh and blood individual).
4. I wear pants and drive a car.
5. If 4 is true, then 1 is true and MM really exists.
Or:
1. Rabbits have eight legs.
2. Rabbits are members of the animal kingdom.
3. Octopi have eight legs.
4. Octopi are members of the animal kingdom.
5. If 4 is true, then 1 is true and rabbits have eight legs.
Analogies do not prove anything; they merely help to comprehend a concept or event by comparing it to something more familiar that has a few key corresponding attributes. Other attributes that are not comparable, such as divinity or omniscience, keep the analogy from actually PROVING anything about the subject. If this were not true, then your 'logic' would DISPROVE the trinity since water actually has many more than tree states! You left off the plasma state (and several other ionized states) and the fact that ice has many distinct crystal forms. So there wouldn't be a Trinity, but a Dodecatinity, or something.
