Absurdity in the Bible

Absurdity in the Bible
I was stumbling through the internet and I came across this site. To be honest, I contemplated placing it under humor. However, the absurdities are not simply satire. The interpretations are what one with a logical, reasonable mind would expect to encounter while reading the bible.

Quote:Genesis

1. God creates light and separates light from darkness, and day from night, on the first day. Yet he didn't make the light producing objects (the sun and the stars) until the fourth day (1:14-19). And how could there be "the evening and the morning" on the first day if there was no sun to mark them? 1:3-5

2. God spends one-sixth of his entire creative effort (the second day) working on a solid firmament. This strange structure, which God calls heaven, is intended to separate the higher waters from the lower waters. 1:6-8

3. Plants are made on the third day before there was a sun to drive their photosynthetic processes (1:14-19). 1:11
