Scientific errors and contradictions in the Bible.
#1. Proverbs 6:6-8,
"Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
7 It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
8 yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest."
This is absurdly false, because ants live in colonies and ranks of rulership and authority. And they have a queen.
#2. Leviticus 11:20-23 - "All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be detestable to you."
No insect with four legs exists. Insects have six legs!
#3. Matthew 13:31-32 "He (Jesus) told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds,"
The mustard seed is not the smallest of all seeds. Others, such as the orchid seed, are smaller.
#4. Leviticus 12:2-5, a female causes double the pollution when she's born than that of a boy. The mother remains unclean for 66 days after birth of a female instead of 33 days if she gives birth to a male.
Do I really have to comment on this one???
