God's ignorance of the universe
The bible is so full of mistakes about the nature of the universe there is no way it could ever have been inspired by the creator of it.
For instance, God should know:
· The sun is simply another star and would not have been created as a separate entity (Gen 1:16)
· The moon is not a light source like the sun (Gen 1:16, Isaiah 30:26)
· Micro-organisms exist and are the cause of disease and viruses.
· Bats are not birds. (Lev 11:13-19)
· The earth is not flat
· There are no oceans in the sky. (Gen 1:6-8)
· There is no Hell below the Earth.
· Stars do not sit in a solid dome (firmament) (Gen 1:6-8)
· Stars do not fall to the earth. If they did the entire earth would be obliterated
· It's
not reasonable to name every star in the sky. It would be like naming every grain of sand on a beach. (Psalm 147:4)
See God has names for all the stars
· The sun does not rotate around the earth
· Halting the suns "rotation", or for that matter, the earth's rotation around the sun, for even a day would result in the destruction of all life on Earth (Joshua 10:13)
· The heart is not where deep thoughts and emotions come from.
· What is attributed to the soul (and the heart) is actually done by the brain.
· Wiping out almost the entire world with a flood would NOT get rid of evil
· Rainbows had to have existed long before Noah’s Ark.
· Rabbits do not chew cud (Lev 11:6)
· The mustard seed is not the smallest of all seeds (Mark 4:31)
This is what I came up with in 10 minutes off the top of my head. (Scripture references were added later). Maybe I will add more later.
See here for a list of mistakes made by God. Some of them are tongue-n-cheek but many of them are very relevant points.
