I know many Christians insist that Noah's Flood actually happened even though there's tons of evidence it not only didn't but couldn't have possibly happened but that would be a-whole-nother long post in itself so instead I will cite a few passages from the Bible [listed at
Bible: Science and History] making statements which are demonstrably wrong. In any event the chronology of animal creation isn't accurate to how science knows it went. Genesis I says sea creatures (including whales)and birds came a day before land animals which of course is total nonsense. Then again Genesis II says Adam came then animals then Eve which is also nonsense.
The bible says that hares and coneys are unclean because they "chew the cud" but do not part the hoof. But hares and coneys are not ruminants and they do not "chew the cud." Leviticus 11:5-6
Bats are birds to the biblical God. Leviticus 11:13, 19
Four-legged fowls are abominations. Leviticus 11:20
Be sure to watch out for those "other flying creeping things which have four feet." (I wish God wouldn't get so technical!) I guess he must mean four-legged insects. You'd think that since God made the insects, and so many of them (at least several million species), that he would know how many legs they have! Leviticus 11:23
God's law for lepers: Get two birds. Kill one. Dip the live bird in the blood of the dead one. Sprinkle the blood on the leper seven times, and then let the blood-soaked bird fly off. Next find a lamb and kill it. Wipe some of its blood on the patient's right ear, thumb, and big toe. Sprinkle seven times with oil and wipe some of the oil on his right ear, thumb and big toe. Repeat. Finally kill a couple doves and offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. Leviticus14:2-52
The Israelite population went from seventy (Exodus 1:5) to several million (over 600,000 adult males) Numbers 1:45-46 in just a few generations!
God's cure for snakebite: a brass serpent on a pole. Numbers 21:8
In a divine type of daylight savings time, God makes the sun stand still so that Joshua can get all his killing done before dark. Joshua 10:12-13
"The earth ... shall be stable, that it be not moved." It doesn't spin on its axis or travel about the sun. 16:30 Chronicles
The earth rests upon pillars and doesn't move (unless God gets angry or something). Job 9:6
The earth is fixed and the sun travels about it. Job 9:7
(there are scores and scores of Biblical descriptions of an unmoving Earth)
According to the Bible, the moon produces its own light Isaiah 13:10
God spread out the sky, which is a solid structure, hard and strong like a mirror. Job 37:18
(there are also scores of verses describing the sky as a hard solid structure which contains the "waters" of Heaven - this was ancient Hebrew cosmology)
"And the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den." A cockatrice is a serpent, hatched from a cock's egg, that can kill with a glance. They are rare nowadays Isaiah 11:8 & 14:29 & 59:5 & again in Jeremiah 8:17
The Bible also mentions unicorns and dragons and sea serpents.
But that's enough for now. The point being of course just because the Bible says something it doesn't follow it's a fact.
Cheers
