Contradictions & Errors in the Bible
                         (Part-3)



87: Fishes first, or the Birds?

(Genesis 1:21-23) So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the
waters swarm, according to their kinds,a
nd every winged bird according to its kind.... And there was evening and
there was morning, a fifth day.


Geological science says fishes appeared long before the birds. They were not created during the same day or
period.




88: Reptiles first, or the fowl?

(Genesis 1-21) And God created...every winged fowl after his kind...."  

(Genesis 1:23) And God made the beast of the earth... and
every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his
kind.


Science says creeping reptiles appeared on the earth before the fowl, not afterwards.




89: Birds emerged from water?

(Genesis 1:20) And God said, 'Let the water bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl
that may fly above the earth
in the open firmament of heave.




90: Creation of Adam?

(Genesis 1:27) So God created man in his own image,...male and female created he them.


If Adam was created on the 6th day, approximately 6,000 years ago (Bishop Usher's calculations), then nobody
lived before 4,000 B.C. Prehistoric men would be fictitious. By tracing the genealogy of Jesus back 77
generations to Adam, the third chapter of Luke also supports belief in a very young earth. If each man had lived
approximately 100 years, then the world would be no more than 9,684 (7,700 + 1984) years old. If each of Jesus' ancestors had lived to be 1,000 years old (an age not even reached by Methuselah), the earth would still be only
78,984 (77,000 + 1984) years old, according to creationists.





91: How many children did Zerubbabel have?

( 1 Chronicles 3:19-20) And the sons of Pedaiah (were) Zerubbabel, and Shimei: and the sons of Zerubbabel;
Meshullam
, and Hananiah, and Shelomith their sister. And Hashubah, and Ohel, and Berechiah, and
Hasadiah
, Jushab-hesed, five.

How can there be five sons of Zerubbabel when 8 males and one female are listed?




92: How many cities?

(Joshua 19:2-6) And it had for its inheritance Beer-sheba, Sheba, Moladah, Hazar-shual, Balah, Ezem, Eltolad,
Bethul
, Hormah, Ziklag, Beth-marcaboth, Hazarsuah, Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen- thirteen cities with their
villages.


14 cities are listed, not 13.




93: How many cities?

(Joshua 15:21-32) The cities belonging to the tribe of the people of Judah in the extreme South, toward the
boundary of Edom, were
Kabzeel, Eder, Jagur, Kinah, Dimonah, Adadah, Kedesh, Hazor, Ithnan, Ziph, Telem,
Bealoth
, Hazor-hadattah, Kerioth-hezron (that is Hazor). Amam, Shema, Moladah, Hazar-gaddah, Heshmon,
Bethpelet
, Hazar-shual, Beer-sheba, Biziothiah, Baalah, Iim, Ezem, Eltolad, Chesil, Hormah, Ziklag, Madmannah,
Sansannah
, Lebaoth, Shilhim, Ain, and Rimmon; in all twenty-nine(29) cities, with their villages.

Thirty-six cities (36) are listed, not 29.



94: How many sons?

(Chronicles 3:22) ...and the sons of Shemaiah; Hattush, and Igeal and Barial, and Neariah, and Shaphat, six.

They are Five names, not Six.



95: Again a mathematical mistake!

(1 Chronicles 25:3) ...the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six,
under the hands of their father Jeduthun.


Five names are listed,  not Six.



96: Again a mistake in counting!


(Joshua 15:33-36) And in the lowland, Eshtaol, Zorah, Ashnah, Zanoah, En-gannim, Tappuah, Enam, Jarmuth,
Adullam
, Socoh, Azekah, Sha-araim, Adithaim, Gederah, Gederothaim: fourteen cities with their villages.

Fifteen cities are listed, not 14. Bibical authors were very weak in the mathematics!



97: Poor Mathematics!

(Ezra 1:9-11) And this is the number of them: Thirty (30) charges of gold, a thousand (1,000) charges of silver,
nine and twenty (29) knives
, Thirty (30) basins of gold, silver basins of a second sort four hundred and ten (410), and vessels a thousand (1,000). All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four
hundred (5,400).


Again very poor mathematics, the correct counting is: 30+ 1,000+ 29 + 30 + 410 + 1,000 =
2,499 not 5,400.




98: How many men in Israel?

a work
