Seeing as there are already 40 pages to this thing, I think I'll just start with a simple addition. I know there are contradictions in the Bible because I've read it, and I've seen them. That being said, I don't have to show the contradictions because this Thread kind of speaks for itself. What I will speak to, though, is the fact that people who explain them away in some form or another are practicing special pleading. Reason dictates that this practice in deciding the truth of something is wrong. In the face of overwhelming evidence, the verdict should be clear.
Great discussion so far though!
Oh, one more point. Far more simpler...who cares if the Bible contradicts itself? We don't know who wrote many of the books in it, so it should all be taken with a grain of salt anyway.
