    You were just given a list. If you want to leave the discussion, that's fine. But let's not pretend you don't understand what the contradictions are.

    Saying there are contradictions and showing PROOF that what you believe to be contradictions are actually contradictions are two entirely separate things. Try showing the PROOF.

    I honestly do not care. Genesis 1 shows a different order of events compared t Genesis 2, and both contrary to what is known in science to be true.

    There are some 460 contradictions, take your pick. God is obviously incapable of writing a coherent series of books.

    First of all, the first two chapters of Genesis do not contradict one another. The alleged contradiction comes from faulty interpretation and not performing a careful comparison of the two chapters.

    As for the alleged 460 contradictions.... since I don't know of any contradictions, then the selection would be upon your choice... However, when you do make that choice, also be prepared to show PROOF that, the one or more that you select because you believe them to be contradictions, it or they are actually contradictions and not just a matter of faulty interpretation.

    Actually the first two chapters of Genesis do contradict each other. Two different authors wrote two different pieces at different times.

    This is basic Biblical scholary knowledge.

    Well of course we all understand that those Bible scholars were there to witness who wrote them and when they were written.

    Now show the contradictions and show the proof that what you believe to be a contradiction is in actuality a contradiction. You have made the positive assertion that they are in contradiction, so the onus of proof is upon you.

    They have already been provided to you in the past, I fail to see the need to do it again and again and again.

    Showing some passages of scripture and declaring that they are in contradiction is not showing proof that they are in actuality contradictory.
