Sorry to interject because I know this wasn't directed at me but I just had to post this response.
1. 6 day creation, with plants and the earth before the sun and stars.
2. Global flood and all humans coming from the same surviving family
3. Tower of Babel, a tower that as supposed to reach to Heaven, and all languages came from this incident
4. The plagues in Egypt and 40 year Exodus, for which there is no evidence
5. The supposed glorious Davidic empire for which there is no evidence
And you wonder why we don't take the Bible seriously as a collection of historical documents?
