That is how I feel. I realize that you can't disprove a god, fairies, or invisible dragons. According to the bible, god is infallible and every word of that book is true. When things that I've mentioned from the bible in my original post contradict each other, The Law of Contradiction states that both premises can't be true, therefore one premise is true. If you look at the facts, you will see humans didn't pop into existence 10,000 years ago. I can spend all day going through the bible and give you at least 100 contradictions, therefore every word of his book isn't true, therefore the god of the bible doesn't exist, because he no longer would be infallible. That's how I see it anyway. Some things are true in it, but not everything.
