How great was Michael Jordan as an INDIVIDUAL player?golf ,nba teams

G.O.A.T. Period. And what does Kobe sucking have to do with Jordan being the greatest.
Michael Jordon is the best that ever played the game,period.Kobe will never be MJ.
I am not sure about the best ever but in his time is defiantely the top. I would suggest that Magic is there or even further back is Wilt Chamberlain. Wilt is most likely the best player to ever play so far.
I am a HUGE Kobe fan( (look at my name), and I wouldn't say that he sucks, because he's easily one of the greatesest players of all time, a sure-fire Hall of Famer. However, even the greatness of KB24 pales in comparison with the picturesque career of Michael Jordan. His Airness will NEVER be matched by anybody (though many do come tantalizingly close)!!!

P.S. in Jordan's career game (69 pts, 18 rbs vs. Cavs), he had 7 assists, not 6 as you listed.
Amazing. He took the impossible and made it possible!
look dude, if ur a Kobe hater, u dont hav 2 pile jordan's factsheet here on Yahoo! Answers. you are exaggurating it now. jordan was a ture player %26amp; kobe is a good player so u cant compare
Yes MJ is the greatest without a doubt.
Not as great as Kobe.

ask this question as many times as u want. the best answer will always be the same.
people say that mj is set apart from any bball player that ever lived because he only could take over games. i could technically have periods when he went 1-on-5. amongst all that...he was also amazing at playing team ball and setting up top notch plays. so stating the obvious, of course mj is the best individual player....as well as team player...to ever walk the earth.
.
good
KING, you dont know have to post MJ's achievements on yahoo answers everyday. Man get a job or a girlfriend. Who am I kidding, no1 would hire you and no girl would go out with you.
And all this time I thought King was the greatest Jordan fan. It looks like Ms Rodriguez takes the cake on this one. King and Ms Rodriguez should get together so you 2 can breed a whole generation of MJ loving / Kobe hating kids. That would be an interesting scenario. hahaha
Michael Jordan is and ALWAYS will be the BEST player to ever play the game! I wouldn't say Kobe sucks he's no Michael Jordan, but who is?! There is only one Micheal Jordan!! I think Kobe is one of the best players in the NBA today though.
why do u always pile stats up??? we already knew this before...MJ IS basketball...so y keep writing it??? just out of curiosity??? n y do u bash everyone else??? not enuff breastmilk i think

Jordan Is the best their is and the best there ever will be!?

do you feel so threatened by lebron that you post such a question?

how can you even compare all that to someone who only has 4 year career to gather records. it's not fair for both players
yeah baby ! i say this with my tongue hanging out of my mouth.
People used to say that " man will someday walk on the moon " and look now. It has been done. With the advanced technology in today's society, someday there will rise up an athlete that outdoes even the great Michael Jordan. It may not happen in a year from now and may not happen in 5 years from now, but it will happen. Just ask Hank Aaron......
There is always someone better than the next guy but until then MJ is the best of all time hands down.
Wilt is the best ever
awards didnt get the celtics their franchises first 11 titles in 13 years (the first as a rookie who would change the way basketball is played (rebounding, firing outlet passes and running , facilitating the famous celtic fast break)...would have been 12 titles if bill had not suffered an ankle injury in one finals) awards given by sports writers had nothing to do with playing in a hostile environment night in and night out (not being able to eat or room with white roomates and being abused by sports fans and other prejudiced people in every town they played in, even at home... flashy scoring numbers and stats did not get more than a ring for every finger so much as hard work, sweat and determination...in a time where a black man was held down and probably not voted MVP nearly as many times as this man should have got it...lets face it...11 rings and only a handful of MVPs when the whole country knew he was the primary reason the team got them...a work and team ethic so held to that this man was quoted as saying 'scoring is not the primary component of playing winning basketball' leading yourcollegeteam to a 55 game win streak and back to back national titles, then leading your olympic team to gold BEFORE going pro...not with a whole team of professional 'ringers', this is a player who had 30 rebound nights (wins) against Wilt, arguably one of the greatest players to ever suit up...Wilt averaged 50 points and 25 rebounds one year...and thru Wilt's peak production years Bill still led his Celtic team to titles... so respected towards the end of his career he was made the first black coach of any major sport in america...in Boston of all places, where whites were rocking busses and fighting when students integrated schools...all this in the 60s no less...do you think mere stats can measure up to that...do you think stars of the last 15 years had the mentality to put up with that kind of treatment and still perform...
umm lebron did but no question MJ is the best
I agree and noone will ever be as good as the great micheal "air" jordan, just like there will never be another magic ,bird ,miller ,etc
yes eventually there will be someone better than him , the mj fans just wont except the fact.
Ya just can't compare one player to another when each of them played the game with different team mates, which makes a huge difference.

One thing I DO think....LeBron should be Coach of the Year!!! Mike Brown does nothing but let LeBron call the shots and the talking heads have the nerve to talk about how Brown turned the team around.........BULL!!
is jordan the best of the last 20 years. heck yeah

the best of all time?

not so much, Bill Russel with 11 rings is pretty stiff competition

edit:

thats a great point about the the overcoming of prejudice that Russel had to do.
Look at what Lebron has done in the years before Jordan was still in college. Lebron has way more athletic ability, way more leadership, and way more potential. Don't get me wrong, Jordan was awesome, but we only got to see "prime-time Mike" for about seven solid years. Lebron is not even close to his prime yet. He is a man playing amongst boys as was proven in the last two overtimes in his game against Detroit. Jordan is still the best that ever was...but my question is "do you really think that will be true in five years?"

Dirk, duncan, or garnett?

who would you want on your team, and who would you want to be in the nba? best answer gets 5 stars

Dirk, duncan, or garnett?nba rules

Without a doubt Kevin Garnett. He's the only player in this bunch that can play all 5 positions on the court. Dirk can shoot but if he hes a bad night he has nothing to fall back on. Tim Duncan is a great player, but his teamates take alot off of him. So he'll get his numbers no matter what. Kg is all by his self, and has the number 1 ranking in player proficiency. He can dribble shoot and pass like a guard. Yes Dirk has the better shot but, Kg is always going to give you at least 20 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks, 3 steals a game. Dirk And Tim can't do that.

Dirk, duncan, or garnett?nba live ,nba teams

I would pick Garnett easily because he has tremendous skills both offensively and defensively.

Nowitzki is a freakin monster on offense but the dude is a liability on defense.

Duncan this year does not look like the Duncan of old. He is slower and seems to be getting dunked on more often.

By the way, Garnett dropped 44 and 11 in a win against Stoudemire and the best team in the league.
dirk. garnett and duncan are getting old, and dirk has a positive effect to the team and an all around game that is hard to defend. (Plus, he's 7-0 and can really spread the floor.)
Dirk. He has one advantage over the other 2, he can shoot the 3, so that makes him much more valuable. He also has a higher FT percentage over the other 2, so when the game comes down to FTs, I want Dirk at the line. Points wise, they're about equal. The only thing lacking in Dirk is his leadership ability.
this season, i'd want dirk, just because he is playing at such an unbelievable level. otherwise i'd say garnett. he's 7'1" (listed at 6'11"), he can play any position better than at least 90% of the players at that position, he can defend, he can rebound, he can pass, he can score, he wants to win more than just about any nba player ever. the reason he still flys under the radar is because in his entire career, he has had about 3 players who weren't sub-par on his team. if you swap duncan and garnett's places, garnett has at least 3 rings, duncan has none. really though, you can't go wrong with any of these guys, a lot depends on what you're looking for from your power forward. as for who i'd want to be, i'd say probably dirk or amare. big athletic guys who can dominate any time they step on the court, and they're playing on the two best teams in the nba
l would want dirk on my team because he cant shoot turn around j's and is preety tall. he also is a good defender and has the skills that duncan and garnett don't have like shooting 3's without no problem.
Duncan! He plays defense Garnett plays ok defense but Duncan is better. Offense wins the glory but defense wins the game
between the three i will choose garnett

I would like kobe the most if i can choose him
out of all of those players who can make the jump shots and who can drain 3's.....speaking of 3's didnt somebody by the name of dirk nowitzki win the 3 point shoot out last year!? i believe so! Dirk can also get rebounds and draw double teams and still shoot over the double team and make it and he can also assist!!!!!!
Well, let's look at it this way.

Championships:

Dirk - 0

Garnett - 0

Duncan - 3 (I believe...)

And as for who I would want to be... Probably Dwyane Wade, I mean, come on... He's one of the 50 beautiful people, really good at ballin', he's smart, he is also humble... What more do you need?
Kevin Garnett without question. The best all around player in the league.
Right now,maybe KG over Dirk, in a close verdict.A couple of years ago, it might have been Tim Duncan, but he may never get back to the Duncan of old.KG is versatile, not totally clutch, but nevertheless a great player who plays defense,which Dirk doesn't quite do.
I like Nowitzki the best of this bunch because he's the best offensive player of the bunch. He also is one of the best shooters in the NBA.

For more on the Mavericks, Spurs, Timberwolves and the NBA, check this site out. http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/nba.ht...
KG all the way. He'll school dirk and duncan any day.
KG plain and simple. he can score. he can defend. he can get assists with few turnovers. he has more intensity then duncan and dirk.

dirk has no defense and gets very few assists but can score alot.

duncan is about as good as KG but he turns the ball over too much, especially since he has alot of great talent on his team.
It depends who else is on my team. Duncan knows how to win rings (yep, 3 rings and Finals MVP). Garnett is exciting but is either a choker or tires out b/c I've seen too many 4th Qtrs where he fades. Now, the more complete player is Dirk. A 7 footer has never had a stroke like this guy. I'm a huge Spurs fan so I'm going with Duncan as long as you surround him with shooters.

As for who I want to be in the NBA...Tony Parker...EVA LONGERIA!!!

that usc girl is a retard. she spelled "grammar" and "loser" wrong. just like dumba$$ kobe

Who accomplished more in their first 11 years, MICHAEL JORDAN or KOBE BRYANT?nba trade rumors ,nba teams

Definetly Michael Jordan! It is so obvious
MJ all the way the best there is was and ever will be
You better check your stats buddy.

Michael Jordan won SIX titles.

Michael Jordan was Championship MVPs five times.

Kobe has won six all defense teams.

Might wanna put up the right stuff if you want to put proclamation up.

Kobe has also had a four point play twice in a quarter.

Kobe had 81 points in a game.

Kobe had back-to-back 50 point games.

Michael Jordan was only good for 11 seasons...Kobe will be good for at least 15.
this isn't really a question. I don't understand why people insist on comparing the two. its like saying that because Patrick Ewing did not do what Wilt Chaimberlin did that he stunk. Nobody but you is even concerned anymore about comparing the two. give Kobe a break, he is a good basketball player who has the potential to be great. end of story.
no comparison. I think a lot of the people on here who, are so big on Kobe, never saw Michael play.
JORDAN!!!

chicago fan here. lol

but come on, did you see how AWSOME he was.

he still is in the runnign for the greatest dunk!

and........ he won 3 championships..... i think thats what it was.

i dont like kobe!

lol

mags
...I would never in a millions years even THINK to compare the likes of Kobe Bryant to Michael Jordan...
How man times are you going to ask this question already

Its getting old!!! But I'm happy you learned some grammer

KOBE ROCKS HOMIE

Here are some closing words to you from Kobe

“What I'm doing right now, I'm chasing perfection.”

-Kobe Bryant

Everything negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.

-Kobe Bryant

What Now Looser

LAKERS 4 LIFE
Kobe isn't even the best player in the game today, let alone in the same stratosphere as the GOAT, Michael Jordan.
You summed it all up and didn't even need to ask the question. MJ runs circles around KB every day of the week, twice on Sunday. Other than the occasional ball hogging where he might score 81 points, KB does nothing good for basketball and has never been an ambassador to the sport, unless it was for thugs, wannabe rapists, and low lifes.
im saying kobe on this

kobe already did the unthinkable by putting up 81 points as well as he has 4 rings

your facts are completely wrong u idiot
Jordan all the way! Alpha, of course Kobe has a lot of "youngest" records, he started at 18! If you want a proper comparison, compare the number of games or seasons it took them to achieve something. (Jordan is the 2nd fastest to reach 10, 15, 25, and 30 thousand points; only wilt was faster) If they started at the same age, Kobe would be left biting the dust. And let's not forget, achievements aren't limited to stats and championships. Don't forget their lives outside the basketball court. If you bring that in, Jordan has a great family, charity foundations, and is a role model. Role model is something Kobe can never be.

And Kobe had Shaq all that time. Enough said.
Don't you ever disrespect Kobe like that again he is the best player in the world today jordan was the past who cares right now its kobe time and the future will be Lebron

Both men have family's...both men do charity work...both men are great basketball players..both men are human...human's make mistakes.....both have....

since when did you get to be so rightious?
I just dialed 911 on you because comparing Kobe to Jordan is a crime.

Jordan is a better offensive player and makes his teamates better (therefore, the Bulls usually wipe out their opponents by the 2nd quarter). Kobe doesn't know how to make his teamates better while scoring, so his team has to struggle to go to 4th quarter or OT to win games.

Jordan is 5x the better defensive player. People will say Pippen this and Pippen that. Ask Magic Johnson who the greatest defensive player was, and he'll say Michael Jordan. I remember when Grant Hill was killing Pippen, so Jordan took over and shut him down for the rest of the game. Jordan also won defensive player of the year (a feat Kobe can never do), led the league in steals several times, average over 3.0 stls/game (a feat Kobe will never do), 4 league MVPs, a 30,8,8 season (a feat Kobe will never accomplish). 6 nba finals MVP (Kobe will never reach), 9 scoring titles (can kobe get 7 more? possible but I doubt it), most shoes sold in the history of mankind (a feat kobe cant' even dream of), the list goes on and on and on......

Anyway, Kobe is a good offensive player and thats all he is.

His defense is overrated, he proved to the world that he cannot win games without Shaq. He has proven that he is not a leader and can only lead his team to .500 the past 3 seasons. What has Kobe accomplished outside of scoring points the past three seasons?

If you can't answer that, I am taking you to court because you committed a crime.
This is the only fair way to compare their careers. Jordan went tocollegeand won a National Title at UNC, an accomplishment Kobe Bryant will never be able to do.

Kobe Bryant IS the best player in the game, though, and I hate it when people disrespect his game because they're only kidding himself.

Bryant is no Jordan, though and until Kobe retires, it's pointless to compare their careers.
Please do me a favor. Don't mention Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan in the same sentence again.
simple put kobe had oneal for is first 7 season while mj didnt get his side kick for awhile. kobe is a average sf/sg

Why is Kobe Bryant hated in Philadelphia?

I think it's because he said he wouldn't play in Philly the year he came in the draft because they were so bad. I remember he was booed in Philly at the All Star Game, is that just because of the LA vs Philadelphia NBA Finals?

Why is Kobe Bryant hated in Philadelphia?knicks

Kobe is hated EVERYWHERE...not just Philly.

I can't wait to see what all the Kobe apologists here on Yahoo Answers have to say about Kobe's latest 'ME first' move.

Kobe is a tool, and any team that picks him up will wish that they hadn't.

Why are there so many scientific and historical innacuracies in the word of your God?

Science and History in the Bible

All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.--Lev.11:20

Arguments cannot be answered by personal abuse.... Should it turn out that I am the worst man in the whole world, the story of the flood will remain just as improbable as before, and the contradictions of the Pentateuch will still demand an explanation. -- Robert Ingersoll, Some Mistakes of Moses

Genesis

The Genesis 1 creation account conflicts with the order of events that are known to science. In Genesis, the earth is created before light and stars, birds and whales before reptiles and insects, and flowering plants before any animals. The true order of events was just the opposite. 1:1-2:3

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

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

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

God lets "the earth bring forth" the plants, rather than creating them directly. Maybe Genesis is not so anti-evolution after all. 1:11

In an apparent endorsement of astrology, God places the sun, moon, and stars in the firmament so that they can be used "for signs". This, of course, is exactly what astrologers do: read "the signs" in the Zodiac in an effort to predict what will happen on Earth. 1:14

God makes two lights: "the greater light [the sun] to rule the day, and the lesser light [the moon] to rule the night." But the moon is not a light, but only reflects light from the sun. And why, if God made the moon to "rule the night", does it spend half of its time moving through the daytime sky? 1:16

"He made the stars also." God spends a day making light (before making the stars) and separating light from darkness; then, at the end of a hard day's work, and almost as an afterthought, he makes the trillions of stars. 1:16

"And God set them [the stars] in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth." 1:17

In verse 11, God "let the earth bring forth" the plants. Now he has the earth "bring forth" the animals as well. So maybe the creationists have it all wrong. Maybe God created livings things through the process of evolution. 1:24

God gave humans dominion over every other living thing on earth. 1:26

God commands us to "be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over ... every living thing that moveth upon the earth." 1:28

"I have given you every herb ... and every tree ... for meat." 1:29

All animals were originally herbivores. Tapeworms, vampire bats, mosquitoes, and barracudas -- all were strict vegetarians, as they were created by God. 1:30

"God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good." He purposefully designed a system that ensures the suffering and death of all his creatures, parasite and host, predator and prey. 1:31

In Genesis 1 the entire creation takes 6 days, but the universe is at least 12 billion years old, with new stars constantly being formed. 1:31

Humans were not created instantaneously from dust and breath, but evolved over millions of years from simpler life forms. 2:7

After making the animals, God has Adam name them all. The naming of several million species must have kept Adam busy for a while. 2:18-22

God fashions a woman out of one of Adam's ribs.

Because of this story, it was commonly believed (and sometimes it is still said today) that males have one less rib than females. When Vesalius showed in 1543 that the number of ribs was the same in males and females, it created a storm of controversy. 2:19

God curses the serpent. From now on the serpent will crawl on his belly and eat dust. One wonders how he got around before -- by hopping on his tail, perhaps? But snakes don't eat dust, do they? 3:14

Because Adam listened to Eve, God cursed the ground and causes thorns and thistles to grow. Before this, according to the (false) Genesis story, plants had no natural defenses. The rose had no thorn, cacti were spineless, holly leaves were smooth, and the nettle had no sting. Foxgloves, oleander, and milkweeds were all perfectly safe to eat. 3:17-18

"There were giants in the earth in those days." Well, I suppose it's good to know that. But why is there no archaeological evidence for the existence of these giants? 6:4

Noah is told to make an ark that is 450 feet long. 6:14-15

Whether by twos or by sevens, Noah takes male and female representatives from each species of "every thing that creepeth upon the earth." 7:8

God opens the "windows of heaven." He does this every time it rains. 7:11

All of the animals boarded the ark "in the selfsame day." 7:13-14

The flood covered the highest mountain tops (Mount Everest?) with fifteen cubits to spare. 7:20

"The windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained." This happens whenever it stops raining. 8:2

Noah sends a dove out to see if there was any dry land. But the dove returns without finding any. Then, just seven days later, the dove goes out again and returns with an olive leaf. But how could an olive tree survive the flood? And if any seeds happened to survive, they certainly wouldn't germinate and grow leaves within a seven day period. 8:8-11

When the animals left the ark, what would they have eaten? There would have been no plants after the ground had been submerged for nearly a year. What would the carnivores have eaten? Whatever prey they ate would have gone extinct. And how did the New World primates or the Australian marsupials find their way back after the flood subsided? 8:19

Noah kills the "clean beasts" and burns their dead bodies for God. According to 7:8 this would have caused the extinction of all "clean" animals since only two of each were taken onto the ark. 8:20-21

"Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth." Although this would have been good advice for the mythical Noah, it is deadly advice for humankind as a whole. Overpopulation is one of our greatest problems, yet there is nothing in the bible to address it. 9:1

According to this verse, all animals fear humans. Although it is true that many do, it is also true that some do not. Sharks and grizzly bears, for example, are generally much less afraid of us than we are of them. 9:2

"Into your hand are they (the animals) delivered." God gave the animals to humans, and they can do whatever they please with them. This verse has been used by bible believers to justify all kinds of cruelty to animals and environmental destruction. 9:2

God is rightly filled with remorse for having killed his creatures. He even puts the rainbow in the sky to remind himself of his promise to the animals not to do it again. But rainbows are caused by the nature of light, the refractive index of water, and the shape of raindrops. There were rainbows billions of years before humans existed. 9:13

Some creationists believe that this verse refers to continental drift, which, they say, began to occur during the days of Pelag (which means "division"), about 100 or so years after the flood. But many other creationists disagree. 10:25

"The whole earth was of one language." But this could not be true, since by this time (around 2400 BCE) there were already many languages, each unintelligible to the others. 11:1, 6

God worries that people could build a tower high enough to reach him (them?) in heaven, and that by so doing they will become omnipotent. 11:4-6

According to the Tower of Babel story, the many human languages were created instantaneously by God. But actually the various languages evolved gradually over long periods of time. 11:9

The ridiculously long lives of the patriarchs. 11:10-32

"And they returned to the land of the Philistines." But the Philistines didn't arrive in the region of Canaan until around 1200 BCE -- 800 years after Abraham's supposed migration from Ur. 21:32, 26:1, 8, 15, 18

Laban learns "by experience" that God has blessed him for Jacob's sake. "By experience" means "by divination", at least that is how most other versions translate this verse. 30:27

Jacob displays his (and God's) knowledge of biology by having goats copulate while looking at streaked rods. The result is streaked baby goats. 30:37-39

God (or an angel) praises Jacob for his fancy genetic work in Gen.30:37-39. 31:11-12

Joseph and his magic divining cup. 44:5, 44:15

Exodus

It took the Israelites 40 years to travel from Egypt to Canaan, yet such a journey, even at that time, would have taken no more than ten days. 16:35

The Israelite population went from 70 (or 75) to several million in a few hundred years. 1:5,7, 12:37, 38:26

Why are some people born with disabilities? Because God deliberately makes them that way. 4:11

God led the Israelites through the land of the Philistines, hundreds of years before the Philistines were established in Canaan. 13:17

"The manna referred to in the Bible, in Exodus 16:14, seems to have been the dried excrement of Trabutina mannipara, a scale insect that feeds on tamarisk trees." Benjamin B. Normark, The Sex Lives of Scales, Natural History, Sept. 2004. 16:14-15

"In six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them."

Believers often say that the "days" of creation should be taken allegorically, but this verse is quite clear. God created the universe in six 24 hour days. 20:11

Leviticus

The bible says that hares and coneys are unclean because they "chew the cud" but do not part the hoof. But hares and coneys are not ruminants and they do not "chew the cud." 11:5-6

Bats are birds to the biblical God. 11:13, 19

Be sure to watch out for those "other flying creeping things which have four feet." (I wish God wouldn't get so technical!) I guess he must mean four-legged insects. You'd think that since God made the insects, and so many of them (at least several million species), that he would know how many legs they have! 11:23

God's law for lepers: Get two birds. Kill one. Dip the live bird in the blood of the dead one. Sprinkle the blood on the leper seven times, and then let the blood-soaked bird fly off. Next find a lamb and kill it. Wipe some of its blood on the patient's right ear, thumb, and big toe. Sprinkle seven times with oil and wipe some of the oil on his right ear, thumb and big toe. Repeat. Finally kill a couple doves and offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. 14:2-52

Numbers

The Israelite population went from seventy (Ex.1:5) to several million (over 600,000 adult males) in just a few generations! 1:45-46

God sends quails to feed his people until they were "two cubits [about a meter] high upon the face of the earth." Taking the "face of the earth" to be a circle with a radius of say 30 kilometers (an approximate day's journey), this would amount to 3 trillion (3x1012) liters of quails. At 2 quails per liter, this would provide a couple million quails for each of several million people. 11:31

God strikes Miriam with leprosy. (In the Bible, leprosy is caused by the wrath of God or the malice of Satan.) 12:10

"And there we saw the giants ... And we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight." This statement may have been figurative, hyperbole, typical biblical exaggeration, or an actual description of the sons of Anak, in which case they must have been about 100 meters tall. These are the same giants (the Nephilium) that resulted when the "sons of God" mated with "the daughters of men in Gen.6:4. Of course these superhuman god-men should have been destroyed in the flood. So what are they doing still alive? 13:33

It took the Israelites 40 years to travel from Egypt to Canaan, yet such a journey, even at that time, would have taken no more than ten days. 14:33, 32:13

God's cure for snakebite: a brass serpent on a pole. 21:8

God has "the strength of a unicorn." Oh heck, I bet he's even stronger than a unicorn. 23:22, 24:8

Deuteronomy

It took the Israelites 40 years to travel from Egypt to Canaan, yet such a journey, even at that time, would have taken no more than ten days. 2:7, 8:2, 29:5

"A land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time." (They must have been much more common back then.) 2:10-11, 20-21

Og, the king of the giants, was a tall man, even by NBA standards. His bed measured 9 by 4 cubits (13.5 feet long and 6 feet wide). 3:11

God promises to cast out seven nations including the Amorites, Canaanites, and the Jebusites. But he was unable to fulfill his promise. These nations were "greater and mightier" than the Israelites, who according to Ex.12:37 and Num.1:45-46 already had numbered several million. So the region, according to the bible, must have had a population of more than twenty million! 7:1

This verse mistakenly says that the hare chews its cud. 14:7-8

To the biblical God, a bat is just an another unclean bird. 14:11, 18

"Their wine is the poison of dragons." I wonder what genus and species the bible is referring to when it mentions dragons. 32:33

Joseph's "horns are like the horns of a unicorn." 33:17

Joshua

It took the Israelites 40 years to travel from Egypt to Canaan, yet such a journey, even at that time, would have taken no more than ten days. 5:6

In Joshua 8 the Israelites destroy Ai and make it a desolate heap. But Ai was an abandoned city by the time of the Israelites and this story is a myth invented to explain the ruins of an ancient city that the Israelites encountered. See Archaeology and Biblical Accuracy by Farrell Till. 8:1-29

This verse says that Ai was never again occupied after it was destroyed by Joshua. But Nehemiah (7:32) lists it among the cities of Israel at the time of the Babylonian captivity. 8:28

In a divine type of daylight savings time, God makes the sun stand still so that Joshua can get all his killing done before dark. 10:12-13

"And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which as of the remnant of the giants...." 12:4, 18:6

Judges

"The stars in their courses fought against Sisera." Unless astrology is true, how can the stars affect the outcome of a battle? 5:20

"As the sun ... goeth forth in his might." The sun, according to the bible, goes around the earth. 5:31

1 Samuel

"The pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them. 2:8

Goliath was ten feet tall ("six cubits and a span"). 17:4

2 Samuel

In what is surely a biblical exaggeration, we are told that "the servants of David" killed 20,000 soldiers in one day. And that "the wood [forest] devoured more people that day than the sword devoured." It must have been spooky forest to have devoured more than 20,000 soldiers. There were probably lots of lions and tigers and bears. (Oh my!)18:7-8

The earth shakes, the foundations of heaven move, smoke comes out of God's nostrils, and fire out of his mouth. 22:8-16

How many soldiers did Israel have? This verse says that Judah and Israel had a total of 1,300,000 fighting men (1 Chr.21:5 says 1,570,000) in this battle. Of course, this is a ridiculously high number for a battle between two tribal armies in 1000 BCE. (The United States had about 1.37 million active duty soldiers in 2001.) 24:9

1 Kings

This verse implies that the value of p is 3. (The actual value is approximately 3.14159.) 7:23

God creates droughts by causing "heaven to shut up" as a punishment for sin. 8:35

Ever the playful spirit, God withers, and then restores, the hand of king Jeroboam. 13:4

2 Kings

Elisha cures a leper, but only after the leper dips himself seven times in the Jordan. 5:14

Elisha not only can cure leprosy, he can also dish it out. Here he makes his servant (Gehazi) and all his descendants lepers forever. 5:27

A dead body is brought to life when it accidentally touches the bones of Elisha. 13:21

Isaiah, with a little help from God, makes the sun move backwards ten degrees. Now that's quite a trick. All at once, the earth stopped spinning and then reversed its direction of rotation. Or maybe the sun traveled around the earth in those days! 20:11

1 Chronicles

Some creationists believe that this verse (and Gen.10:25) refers to continental drift, which, they say, began to occur during the days of Pelag (which means "division"), about 100 or so years after the flood. 1:19

"The earth ... shall be stable, that it be not moved." It doesn't spin on its axis or travel about the sun. 16:30

According to this verse David's army had 1,100,000 men from Israel and 470,000 men from Judah, Of course, this numbers is ridiculously high for a battle between two tribal armies in 1000 BCE. (The United States had about 1.37 million active duty soldiers in 2001.) 21:5 David provides Solomon with a fantastically large amount of gold and silver with which to build the temple: 100,000 talents of gold and 1,000,000 talents of silver. Since a talent was about 60 pounds, this would be about 3,000 tons of gold and 30,000 tons of silver. 22:14

King David collects ten thousand drams (or darics) for the construction of the temple in Jerusalem. This is especially interesting since darics were coins named after King Darius I who lived some five hundred years after David. 29:7

As usual, the reported amounts of gold, silver, and iron are grossly exaggerated. (100,000 talents of iron, for example, would be about 34 million kilograms.) 29:7

2 Chronicles

Since the molten sea was round with a diameter of ten cubits and a circumference of thirty cubits, we know that the biblical value of p is 3. (The actual value is approximately 3.14159.) 4:2

Abijah spoke to 1,200,000 soldiers at one time. (He had a really loud voice.) 13:3-4

500,000 soldiers die in a single God-assisted slaughter. 13:16-17

In the largest single God-assisted massacre in the bible, Asa, with God's help, kills one million Ethiopians. 14:8-14

Asa, when he had a foot disease, went to physicians instead of seeking the Lord. (God disapproves of those who seek medical help rather than "seeking the Lord.") 16:12

God makes Uzziah a leper for burning incense without a license. 26:19-21

Esther

"Haman thought in his heart." Most people think with their heads, but biblical folks think with their hearts. 6:6

Job

The earth rests upon pillars and doesn't move (unless God gets angry or something). 9:6

"Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not."

The earth is fixed and the sun travels about it. 9:7

Heaven is set upon pillars that tremble when God gets mad. 26:11

The earth is set on foundations and it does not move. 38:4-6

God has snow and hail all stored up to use later "in time of trouble." 38:22

God spread out the sky, which is a solid structure, hard and strong like a mirror. 37:18

Ostriches are not cruel and stupid birds who abandon their eggs to die after laying them, as these verses imply. They are, in fact, careful and attentive parents. The male scoops out a hollow for the eggs, which are incubated by the female during the day and the male at night. After the eggs are hatched, they are cared for by the mother for over a month, at which time the chicks can keep up with running adults. 39:13-16

The bible is wrong about ostriches being cruel and inattentive parents (39:13-16). But if they were, whose fault would it be? Why would God deprive them of the tools that are needed to do the job right? 39:17

Bible believers have identified the behemoth as a hippopotamus, dinosaur, wildebeest, or crocodile. But my favorite is the way these verses are translated by Stephen Mitchell: "Look now: the Beast that I made: he eats grass like a bull. Look: the power in his thighs, the pulsing sinews of his belly. His penis stiffens like a pine; his testicles bulge with vigor." 40:15-16

"Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord?" 41:1-34

Psalms

The earth shakes whenever God really gets mad. 18:7

"The foundations of the world were discovered ... at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils." (The earth is set on firm foundations and does not move -- unless God blows his nose.) 18:15

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork." 19:1

The sun moves around the earth. 19:4-6

From his seat in heaven, God can see the whole earth and all its inhabitants.

(He sits directly above the earth, which is a flat disc below him.) 33:14-15

Diseases are sent by God to punish sin. 38:3

According to the psalmist, snails melt. But they don't, of course, they simply leave a slimy trail as they move along. 58:8

God is so strong that he can break the head of dragons and of leviathan. 74:13-14

God holds the earth up with pillars. 75:3

Another reference to "the foundations of the earth", implying that the earth is fixed and does not move. 82:5

"Thou hast broken Rahab [the sea monster] in pieces." 89:10

"The world also is established, that it cannot be moved." 93:1

"The world also shall be established that it shall not be moved." 96:10

"The Lord ... who healeth all thy diseases." God heals all diseases. Medical science is unnecessary. 103:2-3

"God ... who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain" (The earth is stationary and does not orbit the sun.) 104:5

"In wisdom hast thou made them all." 104:24

God is offended by those who make things with their hands or invent things with their minds. 106:39

"The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works." Then why do nearly all animals die painful deaths from starvation, predation, or disease long before they reach adulthood? 145:9

God "satisfiest the desire of every living thing." But in nature few needs are met and few desires are satisfied. Life is short, hard, cruel, and painful for nearly every living thing. 145:17

"He calleth them all by their names."

God knows how many stars there are and knows them all by name. That's pretty impressive since there are 100 billion or so gallaxies, each containing about 100 billion stars. 147:7

"Praise him in the firmament of his power." 150:1

Ecclesiastes

"The sun also ariseth"

Although this verse is interpreted figuratively today, it was taken literally by virtually all Christians until the Copernican revolution, and was used by the Church to condemn Galileo for teaching the heliocentric heresy. 1:5

"He hath made every thing beautiful."

Everything is beautiful in its own way. Parasitic worms, cancer cells, bubonic plague. You just have to look at it from God's eyes. 3:11

"No man can find out the work that God maketh."

Science is impossible. We can learn nothing at all about the natural world. 3:11

Isaiah

"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb...." I wonder what will become of the spiders. Will they be more friendly toward flies? And will the parasitic wasps find another way to feed their larvae? Or will they continue to feed off the living bodies of caterpillars? 11:6, 65:25

"And the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den." A cockatrice is a serpent, hatched from a cock's egg, that can kill with a glance. They are rare nowadays. 11:8

God will gather up the people of Judea "from the four corners of the earth." In the Bible's view, the earth is flat with four corners. 11:12

According to the Bible, the moon produces its own light and the earth does not move. 13:10

When God gets really angry, he causes earthquakes. 13:13

Dragons will live in Babylonian palaces and satyrs will dance there. 13:21-22

Out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent." What ever happened to these fascinating biblical creatures? 14:29

God will turn the earth upside down, knock it off of its foundations, and then shake and bake it until it "reels to and fro like a drunkard." 24:1, 18-20

God will punish the leviathan ("that crooked serpent") with his own sword and will kill the sea dragon. 27:1

Natural disasters (earthquakes, storms, fires, tsunamis) are caused by, and are a sign of, God's wrath. 29:7

Among the many strange creatures mentioned in the Bible that no longer seem to exist is the "fiery flying serpent." 30:6

"The light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold." Well, this is one prophecy that will never come true. Since the moon has no light of its own, but only reflects that of the sun, it could never shine like the sun. And the sun will not, at least not while there are humans to see it, shine 7 times as bright as it does now. 30:26

"And the unicorns shall come down with them." 34:7

Dragons and satyrs may not seem real to you, but they did to the author of these verses. 34:13-14

God makes the sun move backwards 10 degrees. Now that's a neat trick! 38:8

The earth is a flat disc that God looks down upon from his throne in heaven. 40:22

Even the dragons honor God. 43:20

God cut Rahab (the sea monster) to pieces, wounded the dragon, and dried up the sea. 51:9-10

Bad people hatch poisonous cockatrice eggs. Whoever eats the eggs will die, and when the eggs are crushed a viper hatches out of them. 59:5

"Neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee." Of course the moon doesn't give off light, but only reflects the light from the sun. 60:19

Jeremiah

Droughts are punishments from God. 3:3

"I will send serpents, cockatrices among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you." A cockatrice is a serpent, hatched from a cock's egg, that can kill with a glance. They are rare nowadays. 8:17

When God gets angry, the earth trembles. (That's what causes earthquakes.) 10:10

The wild asses "snuffed up the wind like dragons." 14:6

The earth is set on foundations and does not move. 31:37

Lamentations

Ostriches are not cruel and inattentive parents, as this verse implies. They are, in fact, careful and attentive parents. The male scoops out a hollow for the eggs, which are incubated by the female during the day and the male at night. After the eggs are hatched, they are cared for by the mother for over a month, at which time the chicks can keep up with running adults. 4:3

Ezekiel

"The firmament ... the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above." 1:22

The world is flat and has four corners. 7:2

The firmament is over the heads of the cherubim. 10:1

God "will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light." To Ezekiel, the sun is just a little light that can be covered with a cloud, and the moon produces its own light. 32:7

Daniel

The third year of the reign of Jehoiakim would be 606 BCE, at which time Nebuchadnezzar was not yet king of Babylon. It was 597 BCE that Nebuchadnezzar invaded Jerusalem for the first time (without actually destroying it). By that time Jehohiakim was dead and his son, Jehoiachin, was ruling. 1:1

The stone became "a great mountain" that "filled the whole earth." This could only be possible on a flat, disc-shaped earth. 2:35

Daniel's tree is tall enough to be seen from "the end of all the earth." Only on a flat earth would this be possible. 4:10-11, 20

Apparently, the author of Daniel knew of only two Babylonian kings during the period of the exile: Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar, who he wrongly thought was the son of Nebuchadnezzar. But Nebuchadnezzar died in 562 BCE and was succeeded by his son, Awil-Marduk (referred to in the bible as "Evilmerodach" [see 2 Kg.25:27 and Jer.52:31]). In 560 BCE, Amel-Marduk was assassinated by his brother-in-law, Nergal-shar-usur. The next and last king of Babylon was Nabonidus who reigned from 556 to 539, when Babylon was conquered by Cyrus. It was Nabonidus, and not Belshazzar, who was the last of the Babylonian kings. Belshazzar was a the son and viceroy of Nabonidus. But he was not a king, and was not the son (or any other relation) of Nebuchadnezzar. 5:2,11,18,22

Darius the Median is a fictitious character whom the author perhaps confused with Darius I of Persia, who came to the throne in 521 BCE, 17 years after the fall of Babylon. The author of Daniel incorrectly makes him the successor of Belshazzar instead of Cyrus. 5:31

To Daniel, the stars are small objects that can fall from the sky and then be "stamped upon." 8:10

"They ... shall shine as the brightness of the firmament." 12:3

Joel

"The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood." These "signs" were a lot more impressive before the causes of solar and lunar eclipses were understood. 2:31

Amos

God destroyed the Amorites who were a race of giants as tall as cedars and as strong as oaks. 2:9

It took the Israelites 40 years to travel from Egypt to Canaan, yet such a journey, even at that time, would have taken no more than ten days. 2:10

Jonah

God makes "a great fish" to swallow Jonah. And Jonah stayed in the fish's belly for three days and three nights. 1:17

"Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey." That would make it about 60 miles in diameter -- larger than Los Angeles! 3:3

Micah

The earth is set upon strong foundations and therefore does not move. 6:2

Nahum

Tornadoes, earthquakes, and fires are caused by God and are signs of his anger. 1:5

Habakkuk

"The sun and moon stood still in their habitation." This verse apparently refers to Joshua 10:12-13, where God makes the sun stand still. 3:11

Matthew

When was Jesus born? 2:1

"The star ... went before them."

If the star "went before them," leading them to Bethlehem, then it couldn't have been a star or any other astronomical object or event. But Matthew couldn't have known that. Everyone at the time thought that stars were just little points of light a short distance above the earth. It'd be no problem to have one hover above a particular place for a while. 2:9

Herod kills all boys in and around Bethlehem that are two years old and under. Such a massacre would certainly have been noted by contemporary historians. Yet not even Josephus, who documented Herod's life in detail, mentioned this event. 2:16

The devil kidnaps Jesus and takes him up to the top of the temple, and then to the top of "an exceedingly high mountain," high enough to see "all the kingdoms of the world." I guess the earth was flat in those days. 4:8

"Behold the fowls of the air...." Jesus says that God feeds them. But, if so, he does one hell of a lousy job at it. Most birds die before leaving the nest, and the few who manage to fly soon die painful deaths of starvation, predation, or disease. If God is caring for them, pray that he stays away from you. 6:26

Speaking of the birds, Jesus asks: "Are ye not much better than they?" This is meant as a rhetorical question, but the answer is far from obvious to me. I guess to Jesus, though, birds are not worth much compared to humans. So you can do whatever the hell you want with (and to) them. 6:26

According to Matthew, people who cannot speak are possessed by the devil. 9:32-33

Jesus gives his disciples "power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness." 10:1

Jesus tells his disciples to perform all the usual tricks: "heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and cast out devils." 10:8

God is involved in the death of every sparrow. He sees to it that they each die painful deaths of starvation, predation, or disease. But don't worry. God will do the same for you. (He thinks that humans are worth much more than sparrows.) 10:29. 31

Jesus casts out a devil from a man who was blind and dumb. (Thos we are unable to see or hear are possessed by devils.) 12:22

Some Christians believe that the natural evil in the world (predators, parasites, pain, death) is due to Satan, not God. 13:28

Jesus is incorrect when he says that the mustard seed is the smallest seed. And since there are no trees in the mustard family, mustard seeds do not grow into "the greatest of all trees." 13:31-32

Jesus cures an epileptic "lunatic" by "rebuking the devil." (Epilepsy is caused by devils.) 17:15-18

"The moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven." Apparently, Jesus believed that the moon produces its own light, and that the stars are lights held in place by a firmament only a few miles above our heads. 24:29

Jesus believed that Noah's flood actually happened. 24:37

When Jesus was crucified, there was three hours of complete darkness "over all the land." And when he died, there was a great earthquake with many corpses walking the streets of Jerusalem. It is strange that there is no record of any of these extraordinary events outside of the gospels. 27:45, 51-53

Mark

Jesus is incorrect when he says that the mustard seed is the smallest seed. (The smallest seeds are found among the tropical, epiphytic orchids.) 4:31

"Thy faith hath made thee whole." If you have enough faith, you will never get sick. (Illness is caused by sin and lack of faith. Medical science is unnecessary.) 5:34

Jesus heals a boy with "a dumb spirit" by saying, "Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him and enter no more into him." (Sounds like a script from Monty Python, doesn't it?) But how could a deaf spirit hear the words spoken to it? And how could a dumb spirit cry out? 9:17, 25-26

"But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female."

Jesus believed that sex and Adam and Eve were created "from the beginning." But the universe is about 13.6 billion years old, the earth 4.6 billion, sex a billion years or so, and humans (depending on how you define "human") for a couple million years. 10:6

"In those days ... the moon shall not give her light, and the stars of heaven shall fall." Of course this is nonsense. The billions of stars will never fall to earth and the moon does not produce its own light. 13:24-25

When Jesus was crucified, there was three hours of complete darkness "over the whole land." It is strange that there is no record of this extraordinary event outside of the gospels. 15:33

Luke

When was Jesus born? 2:1

The devil takes Jesus to the top of a mountain and shows him "all the kingdoms of the world." I guess the world was flat in those days. 4:5

Epilepsy is caused by devils. 9:39

People who cannot speak are possessed with devils. 11:14

Illnesses are caused by Satan. 13:11-16

Jesus believed the story of Noah's ark. 17:26-27

Jesus also believes the story about Sodom's destruction. He says, "even thus shall it be in the day the son of man is revealed." This tells us about Jesus' knowledge of science and history. 17:29-32

"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars." 21:25

When Jesus was crucified, there was three hours of complete darkness "over all the earth." It is strange that there is no record of this extraordinary event outside of the gospels. 23:44-45

John

"These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing." But no such site is known in history. Some translations (ASV, NAB, NIV, RSV, NRSV) rename Bethabara as Bethany, but Bethany is a suburb of Jerusalem and, therefore, not "beyond the Jordan." 1:28

"If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?"

Good question, Jesus! He was wrong about creation in Mk.10:6, wrong about the flood in Lk.17:26-27, and wrong about the smallest seed in Mt.13:31-32. So why would anyone believe him when he talks about heaven in Jn.3:16? 3:12

Whoever enters a pool after it is stirred up by angels will be cured of "whatsoever disease he had." 5:4

Jesus believes people are crippled by God as a punishment for sin. He tells a crippled man, after healing him, to "sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee." 5:14

The disciples ask Jesus about the cause of a man's blindness. Was it because he or his parents sinned? Jesus said neither had sinned. The man was born blind so that Jesus could show off his powers by curing him of his blindness. 9:1-3

A blind man's sight is restored by washing in the pool of Siloam. 9:7

Acts

"Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?"

This verse was used by a Dominican friar to discourage the use of Galileo's telescope. (Notice the pun on Galileo's name in "men of Galilee".) 1:11

The prophets have spoken "since the world began," which means that humans have been around since the creation of the world. But humans are recent arrivals on an ancient earth. There were no prophets when the earth formed 4.6 billion years ago. 3:21

The sick were healed just by touching the shadow of Peter. 5:15-16

It took the Israelites 40 years to travel from Egypt to Canaan, yet such a journey, even at that time, would have taken no more than ten days. 7:36, 13:18

Sick people are oppressed by the devil. 10:38

Sick people were cured by touching the handkerchief or apron of Paul. And the evil spirits when out of them." 19:12

Paul is bitten by a poisonous snake and yet lives. The "barbarians" who were shipwrecked with him thought he must be a murderer since he was bitten; but then they changed their minds and thought him to be a god since he didn't die. (The snake story is especially interesting since there are no poisonous snakes on Malta, and there is no evidence of their existence in the past.) 28:3-8

Romans

The existence and nature of God are self-evident. 1:20

The Religious Right often uses Romans 1:21-25 to condemn environmentalists. 1:21-25

Paul claims that before Adam sinned death did not exist. But, of course, death didn't enter the world a few thousand years ago because of Adam's sin. Death has been a part of life since life first arose (on this planet, at least) a few billion years ago. 5:12

Paul says that everyone, even in his day, had the gospel preached to them. Even the Native Americans, Asians, Pacific Islanders? 10:18

1 Corinthians

Paul shows his ignorance (and God's) of biology by saying that only dead seeds will germinate. Actually, a seed must be alive to germinate. 15:36

"All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another of beasts."

This verse is used by Creationists to argue against both evolution and any attempt to create "human-animal hybrids" or "chimeras." 15:39

"The first man Adam"

Young Earth Creationists use this verse to support a literal reading of Genesis. "If we cannot believe in the First Adam, why believe in the Last [Christ]?" 15:45

"And afterward that which is spiritual."

Asa Gray, the foremost American botanist in the 19th century and close friend of Charles Darwin, used this verse to support the idea that the Bible is not inconsistent with human evolution. 15:46

2 Corinthians

"As the serpent beguiled Eve"

Young Earth Creationists use this verse to show that Paul believed the creation story in Gen.3:1-6. 11:3

Ephesians

Satan is the "prince of the power of the air." Until modern times Christians believed that Satan was responsible for storms and droughts. 2:2

Colossians

"For by him were all things created.... All things were created by him, and for him.... And by him all things consist." Including guinea worms? 1:16-17

1 Timothy

"For Adam was first formed, then Eve." Young Earth Creationists use this verse to show that Paul believed the creation story in Gen.2:18-22. 2:13

Avoid science, especially that which disagrees with Paul ("science falsely so called"). Other versions translate this phrase as "false knowledge", which may be more correct. However many fundamentalist Christians still use this verse ("science falsely so called") to justify their rejection of any idea, scientific or otherwise, they believe contradicts the bible. 6:20

Hebrews

God set the earth on a foundation; therefore, it does not move. 1:10

James

James says that, even in his day, all beasts, birds, serpents, and sea creatures had been tamed by humans. 3:7

If you are sick, rely on the power of prayer. It works every time. 5:14-15

By praying, Elias was able to keep it from raining for three and a half years. 5:17

2 Peter

Those who disbelieve in the Bible's creation and flood stories are "willingly ignorant." 3:5

"God ... spared not the old world, but saved Noah."

Young Earth Creationists use this verse to show that the New Testament authors believed in the flood story. (So you should too.) 2:4-5

Revelation

"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him." This could only happen on a flat earth. 1:7

Jesus holds seven stars in his hand. Of course, it is possible that this is metaphorical. Perhaps. But it is clear from other verses (6:13, 8:10, 12:4) that John thought of stars as being small, perhaps even small enough for Jesus to hold in his hand. 1:16

"Thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." God created predators, pathogens, and predators for his very own pleasure. One of his favorite species is guinea worms. 4:11

The sixth seal is opened and there is a great earthquake, the sun becomes black, and the moon red, the stars fall from heaven, and mountains and islands move around. 6:12-14

"And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth...." To John, the stars are just little lights a few miles away that can easily fall to the earth. 6:13

John "saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth." Well, I guess that settles it: the earth is flat and square-shaped, or at least quadrilateral in shape. 7:1

An angel threw the censer down to earth, causing thunder, lightning, and earthquakes. 8:5

"And there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters." In the bible, stars are just little lights that can fall to the ground from the sky. 8:10

The fourth trumpet smites one third of the sun, moon, and stars. 8:12

"I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth." 9:1

God's witnesses have special powers. They can shut up heaven so that it cannot rain, turn rivers into blood, and smite the earth with plagues "as often as they will." 11:6

The dragon's tail smacks down to earth one third of the stars. To the author of Revelation, the stars are just little lights that can fall to the ground from the sky. 12:4

There are many many things about the Bible I don't understand. That doesn't make them not true. I don't understand Algebra or a lot of mathematics after addition and subtraction but that doesn't mean they have no basis in truth.

For example: let's say you have this disease and from all your research you know it can do such and such things, OK? So one day you come down with these other symptoms that aren't as far as you know related to your disease. So what do you do? You go to a Dr. A professional. A specialist. Someone who has studied your particular disease. You ask questions and get answers.

If there are things about the Bible you don't understand, then go speak to a professional. Someone who has studied this particular passage and can give you the answers you seek instead of just sitting there and complaining about it.

A pastor, minister or reverend, is just that professional. A specialist in the Bible. Someone who has studied and understands all the so called "inconsistencies"

As I have stated, there are many many things I don't understand. That doen'st stop me from believing.

"Hasn't the Bible been rewritten so many times that we can't trust it anymore?"

http://www.carm.org/questions/rewritten....
Because it was a great story written by an average man who was very charismatic. If you read the book from beginning to end like a Stephen King novel, it's really a great read. It's got it all, sex, murder, joy, sadness, action, war and even magik. Man this book has it all, but you can't take it too seriously.
Don't worry about it. If your right what any of us believe won't matter in a million years. If you are right then we are all irrelevant, and what I believe and what you believe doesn't matter. So why concern yourself? Go outside, look at the stars and think about how small you really are. God loves you.
Whew鈥?why the need to point out the discrepancies? If you spent all that time, energy, and effort teaching yourself instead of teaching others鈥?you might find Love and just Who Love is. Hebrews 8:10
Dang, thats long. But I disagree with you, this world tries to say that the Bible is inacurate, but all that it said would happen, has happend! And all that it said happend, we have found evedence for, or are in the process of finding it. Yet their is practically no evidence for evolution, they have to change things periodically, just for things to work with their theory, since it IS a theory guys, not fact as your Biology teachers may tell you.

Okay look, did you actually read the Bible? Or are they exerpts from some book that you read that says " 100 ways to trying to disprove the Bible!" when they only take bits and pieces of the book and, after all, if you take bits and pieces of any book, you can make it say whatever you want it to say.

Don't take a scientist word for it, read the Bible for yourself! You may learn that their wrong, or they could be right, go find out.
Consider it the power of naming and perspective. People explain things based on what they know and have experienced. No religion or person (in my opinion) has the answers to everything. Some of the things you "quote" might have been written in context of what were cultural norms at the time it was written. Some people may consider you are arrogant and others may just think you are curious and want to know. Most times things change the more we know about them. Some people don't want to know and for things not to change. Change can be scary or it can be exhilarating. We each have to decide for our selves.
The bible was written by educated men of their time trying to keep the populace in line by parables and stories. The people who wrote the Old Test. wrote terrible stories to keep people in line by the threat of God's punishment. The new testament was put together 200 yrs after Christ with some writings of the apostles and has been translated and retranslated many times and even slanted at times to conform to whatever regulations the Church put into place. That is why the Bible should not be taken literally. It is not a scientific document but a spiritual teaching document. You must remember that most people of the time were iliterate and creating stories to explain religion was the only means the members of early Christianity had. They believed in Christ as God and wanted to document it and spread the word. If they came back today and were educated I bet they'd be very surprised at what it now says and that people take it literally.
Whoa, I get the point!

We all know the bible is full of crap, but ... damn ... you didn't need to make a list that long.
Thank you for showing this to me. I never noticed any of this before. Christianity is a racist folktale.
Why are you telling believers this on a Religious/Spiritual Site!....Believers know what the Bible says and how to spiritually understand it!......Go get saved and sit under an Anointed Pastor and learn how to Spiritually Understand GOD'S WORD so that you won't be labled as bringing HERESY Against The WORD Of GOD as you try to explain it!
