Can you guys prove these contradictions to be false? Here's your challenge, prove to me and everyone else that the Bible is not false and misleading to the truth of God and his prophets.


Here's your big resource of Biblical contradictions:

Unfortunately, your logic's a bit flawed:
The "knowledge" (based on your use of capital "K") of man is definitely subject to change, but you're assuming that God's Knowledge changes. I can only assume that, since you don't believe in the God of the Bible, you believe nothing exists that has complete Knowledge.

Even the smartest people you know (the atheists and agnostics) hardly know anything in terms of all the possible things to know. Even if you give each of them the benefit of the doubt and say they know 1% of EVERYTHING there is to know, they'd have to admit that they are ignorant of FAR MORE than they're knowledgable of.

In the HUGE majority of what they don't know resides the singular Truth of God. If these smartest people you know took the time to read and honestly seek His Truth, they just might find it.

Here are some examples of how man's knowledge has changed and -- surprise -- it's aligned with God's Knowledge:
THE BIBLE (2,000–3,000 years ago) The earth is a sphere (Isaiah 40:22).
SCIENCE THEN The earth was a flat disk.
SCIENCE NOW The earth is a sphere.

THE BIBLE (2,000–3,000 years ago) Innumerable stars (Jeremiah 33:22).
SCIENCE THEN Only 1,100 stars.
SCIENCE NOW Innumerable stars.

THE BIBLE (2,000–3,000 years ago) Free float of earth in space (Job 26:7).
SCIENCE THEN Earth sat on a large animal.
SCIENCE NOW Free float of earth in space.

THE BIBLE (2,000–3,000 years ago) Creation made of invisible elements (Hebrews11:3).
SCIENCE THEN Science was ignorant on the subject.
SCIENCE NOW Creation made of invisible elements (atoms).

THE BIBLE (2,000–3,000 years ago) Each star is different (1 Corinthians 15:41).
SCIENCE THEN All stars were the same.
SCIENCE NOW Each star is different.

THE BIBLE (2,000–3,000 years ago) Light moves (Job 38:19,20).
SCIENCE THEN Light was fixed in place.
SCIENCE NOW Light moves.

THE BIBLE (2,000–3,000 years ago) Air has weight (Job 28:25).
SCIENCE THEN Air was weightless.
SCIENCE NOW Air has weight.

THE BIBLE (2,000–3,000 years ago) Winds blow in cyclones (Ecclesiastes 1:6).
SCIENCE THEN Winds blew straight.
SCIENCE NOW Winds blow in cyclones.

THE BIBLE (2,000–3,000 years ago) Blood is the source of life and health (Leviticus 17:11).
SCIENCE THEN Sick people must be bled.
SCIENCE NOW Blood is the source of life and health.

THE BIBLE (2,000–3,000 years ago) Ocean floor contains deep valleys and mountains (2 Samuel 22:16; Jonah 2:6).
SCIENCE THEN The ocean floor was flat.
SCIENCE NOW Ocean floor contains deep valleys and mountains.

THE BIBLE (2,000–3,000 years ago) Ocean contains springs (Job 38:16).
SCIENCE THEN Ocean fed only by rivers and rain.
SCIENCE NOW Ocean contains springs.

THE BIBLE (2,000–3,000 years ago) When dealing with disease, hands should be washed under running water (Leviticus 15:13).
SCIENCE THEN Hands washed in still water.
SCIENCE NOW When dealing with disease, hands should be washed under running water.

By the way, your agnostic friends really should come up with another name for themselves since the true meaning of the word "agnostic" ("a" meaning the lack of, and "gnosis" meaning knowledge) labels them immediately as having no knowledge. Very much like to "muse" on something means to ponder or to think, "amuse" means the lack of thinking. This is why they're called "amusement" parks...
