give me just 1 contradiction in the bible

bible says some supernatural deity created the world in 7 days??

well, that's bullshite, because it is well documented that there was originally a chasm, Ginnungagap, flanked on both sides by fire and ice. Once the fire and ice collided, they formed a gigantic cow, Audhumbla and his master, Ymir. Who, as we all know, pulled from the sweaty underarm pits man and woman. Which was cool until the cow's grandson, Odin up and killed Ymir. From Ymir's dead body, Odin created the world. Ymir's blood was the sea; his flesh, the earth; his skull, the sky; his bones, the mountains; his hair, the trees. Ymir's eyebrow was used to fence in the area where mankind would live.

duh

first story in the bible: contradiction

Every single fossil that is found is more evidence that macroevolution occurs. Each fossil is dated by multiple methods multiple times, and of the millions of fossils found so far, none of them have been "out of place" in the history of the world. What I mean is that "modern" species are never found in the same layers of rock as very old species, nor or they ever dated to such time periods through radiometric methods. Every time a fossil of a previously undescribed species is found, its age always places it in a "hole" between two other species that we have placed on our "tree of life". We don't find T-Rex fossils that date to a billion years old as they didn't evolve until later. Similarly, we don't find human fossils that date to the time of the dinosaurs. What we do find are clear "steps" from one type of creature to the next, and each and every time they are found in the layers of rock as would be expected, and they date to the correct time period through radiometric dating. Every single time.

I don't dispute the claim that various life forms existed, on an ever increasing complexity, over a period of time. What I haven't found is anyone who could give evidence that the ever increasing complexity of the life forms, the tremendous variations of the life forms, occurred strictly by the mechanism of random events. Undirected increasingly complex creation isn't proven, it's simply based on faith based guesses and suppositions of Darwinism.

The step, and it has to be a step at some time in the past according to Darwinism, which produced such divergence which resulted in an elephant and pine tree, both very complex organisms, is nothing more than a guess. Again, there's no evidence for such an event.

The Hebrew texts in Genesis refer to a time of chaos and then order instead of days. The sun wasn't created until the 4th "day", so why would a "day" make sense at that point?

Genesis 1:3-5

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

I can't sit here and break down the language like an expert and won't try, I'm sure you're familiar with Schroeder and his lectures.

Goodnight.

if you read the story of noah in the bible the whole point of the flood was to destroy the earth because of how corrupt and messed up it was due to the people living at the time. just to have a fresh start. does that make sense?

The amount of water required to submerge the entire earth does not exist. It is physically impossible to cover every inch of land with water.

Uh... so how long is this first day?

There were no mention of the sun, stars, or moon until Genesis 1:16 which I believe was on the 4th day.

All four gospels list a different number of women at the tomb when they discovered Jesus' body was missing.

Well that's not really a contradiction

These stories were passed by word of mouth before being written down so of course each gospel is going to have a few details different. That's the whole point in having 4 gospels
