Contradictions in the bible

I think that their are many contradiction beyond genesis, however since you brought it up i will focus on that. Because your counter arguement (against arguements i have not yet made) is that the bible is mis-translated, i will focus on the hebrew text. in chapter one, the bible claims that plant life began on the third day. וַתּוֹצֵא הָאָרֶץ דֶּשֶׁא עֵשֶׂב מַזְרִיעַ זֶרַע, לְמִינֵהוּ, וְעֵץ עֹשֶׂה-פְּרִי אֲשֶׁר זַרְעוֹ-בוֹ, לְמִינֵהוּ; וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים, כִּי-טוֹב (Chapter 1, verse 12) now this is where translation comes in. I will try to provide my own translation so the voters can understand what we are talking about. Before i begin, there are a few basics of Hebrew i want to go over first: 1) it is read from right to left 2) most (maybe all) words come from a three letter root 3) the dots and lines in, above and below letters are vowels, their meaning is usually grammatic 4) verbs come before nouns word 1: וַתּוֹצֵא the first letter ו is a prefix, which translates directly into 'and'. The third letter is again ו, this time it is because of conjugation, when it appears hear it the verb is in the present tense. This leaves us with the root תצא which means roughly 'go out' word 2: הָאָרֶץ the first letter הָ is another prefix meaning the. the rest of the word is a noun meaning earth, or land. word 3: דֶּשֶׁא grass word 4: עֵשֶׂב herb word 5: מַזְרִיעַ seed so where does this put us in our translation, And goes out the earth grass herb seed... remember, in hebrew verbs come before nouns, so this becomes And the earths goes out grass herb seed... Not a perfect translation, but it sounds like the earth is producing these herb, grass, and seed. These were also clearly created by this point in creation. I don't think i need to go through the rest of the sentence, if my opponent wishes to bring something up from it he may do so. So in sentence 12 plant life was created, or at least already existed. Sentence 13 tells us when this happened וַיְהִי-עֶרֶב וַיְהִי-בֹקֶר, יוֹם שְׁלִישִׁי (Chapter 1, verses 13) word 1: וַיְהִי again the first letter is a prefix meaning and. יְהִי is roughly 'was' or 'had' as in " the boy יְהִי the book' would mean the boy had the book. and "יְהִי rain" would mean there was rain. word 2: עֶרֶב evening, night word 3: וַיְהִי and there was word 4: בֹקֶר morning word 5: יוֹם day word 6: שְׁלִישִׁי three which gives us "and there was evening and there was morning day three" This is sentence 13, directly following the previous one i translated. So it is clear that plant life was created on day 3. Jumping forward to sentence 27, we see the creation of man "... וַיִּבְרָא אֱלֹהִים אֶת-הָאָדָנ" word 1: וַיִּבְרָא and created word 2: אֱלֹהִים praised be he (often used as god) word 3: אֶת purely a grammetical word, used before direct objects word 4:הָאָדָנ the man which gives us and created god the man. again in english we put nouns before the verb, so And god created the man. Relatively clear, this is where god created man. this is written after sentence 23 " וַיְהִי-עֶרֶב וַיְהִי-בֹקֶר, יוֹם חֲמִישִׁי." this is the same as sentence 13 except שְׁלִישִׁי (three) was replaced with חֲמִישִׁי (five), so it is "and there was evening, and there was morning, day 5" So man was created after day 5, after plants which were created on day three. These times are also not very prone to mistranslation. the days are kept with the very simple sentence "and there was evening ..." and the appearance of plants and men each fall clearly between two of these dividers, providing a clear chronological order. Now, onto chapter 2. sentence 5 " ...וְכֹל שִׂיחַ הַשָּׂדֶה, טֶרֶם יִהְיֶה בָאָרֶץ" word 1: וְכֹל and all word 2: שִׂיחַ bush word 3: הַשָּׂדֶה the field word 4: טֶרֶם not yet word 5: יִהְיֶה plural form of יְהִי, meaning to be in past tense, referring specifically to an object being in existence word 6: בָאָרֶץ prefix בָ means in the, is אָרֶץ land or earth. And all bush the field not yet was in earth. sentence 7"...וַיִּיצֶר יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים אֶת-הָאָדָם" word 1: וַיִּיצֶר and produce/create past tense word 2: אֱלֹהִים praised be he (often used as god) word 3: אֶת introduce direct object word 4: הָאָדָם the man And produced god the man And god produced the man sentence 9 "... וַיַּצְמַח יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים, מִן-הָאֲדָמָה, כָּל-עֵץ " word 1: וַיַּצְמַח and grew word 2: יהוה another name for god. Vowels are unknown, but this is the origin of Jehovah word 3: א
