sure there were. And we have exact copies of them that were produced in the 2nd and third centuries. We even have some BC copies of older books.
Produce them, asshole. I'm tired of your fucking bullshit.

5. How did carnivorous dinosaurs supposedly eat plants before the biblical fall of man, when their teeth and digestive systems were not equipped to process a vegetarian diet?
Bible doesn't mention dinosaurs; not important enough to make the cut. Even their reported size not significant; the Blue whale is twice the weight and length of the biggest
'saurs'.

The jews who concocted that silly shit never saw a blue whale or a kangaroo or grizzly bear, etc. either. Yet they still exist today. However did they survive your absurd flood?

As Sheldon's mom noted perfectly on a recent episode:
those animals you cite survived by eating the bodies of drowned sinners.
Glad to clear that up for everyone.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Well, that's comedy for you. Accurate for comedy's sake, but not in fact.

why can't TV show comedy writers retcon the Bible?
so very very many others have already !
Just cite Apostle Paul as precedent, and start crossing out stuff and making up more shit to replace it.

Consider it?! But we're talking about making slavery great again, like in the Bible.
What you have the family, what even the wife! That's great because, according to bible, I get to fuck her as much as I want once you become my slave. And if you're not married I'll find you a wife. It is in my great interest to marry you because not only do I get to fuck her as much as I want I also get to keep her and the kids after 7 years that you can supposedly go free. So if you want to be with her and kids you'll profess your eternal love to me and be my slave forever.
"When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing. If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s and he shall go out alone. But if the slave plainly says, “I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,” then his master shall bring him to God, and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for life." Exodus 21:2-8

No wonder people like you are taught all slavery is bad.. because you have no human decency. meaning you can not care nor be trusted with the care of another human life with hurting it to please yourself.
Out the law of God? What are you talking about? God clearly lets people beat their slaves, just not kill them and for a purpose. I'll have to beat you so that pain keeps you awake and that you work more. Just imagine you will be sitting much less if you have bruises on your ass.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Saw the title but my question is why bother pointing out any number of questions bible literalism cannot answer? Why not show that it can answer even one question honestly? Honesty and bible literalism do not have a whole lot in common.
