And that's why we should dismiss them. IF God existed and IF the bible were the word of God, we would expect the bible to be completely unlike the other writings and beliefs during time it was written! We should expect to find scientific truths in it that couldn't have been known back then, and truly unambiguous and verifiably old prophecies that have come true. We would expect absolutely NO contradictions at all in the bible. Eye witness accounts wouldn't have any contradictions between them!
The Bible, if really the word of God, would provide perfect answers to questions such as Why does God exist? Why did God create a world in which there's evil? How does one know what is real? What is the nature of knowledge? etc...
The Bible should have been a truly monumental work of science, history, and philosophy.
