Debate: The bible is... illogical
Side: Illogical!

no telescope could prove a theory about the origin and age of the universeThe Wilkinson Probe provided substantiations for cosmic microwave background radiation, Hubble's constant, inflation theory, non-uniformity of temperature and many other elements of the Big Bang theory. It provided a vast array of information about where and when the Big Bang happened.light from the stars you see takes millions of years to reach your eyes - What? This makes no sense.See:http://www.khanacademy.org/video/red-shift and many of the videos under http://www.khanacademy.org/#cosmology-and-astronomy there are cave paintings from our ancestors that are 30,000 years old - Can you prove this claim?The Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave in France has paintings which date to more than 30,000 years. There was a controversy over whether the date could be trusted since only one lab was used in dating the samples. Other labs have been used since and the cave includes paintings of cave bears that went extinct around 24,000 years ago ref.There are many other caves that date to more than 6,000 years which supports Kamekaze's point refalso, here are more than 30 types of evidence that the world is more than 6,000 years old refThis is not saying that only males are made in the image of God.Chimps have 10 fingers, 10 toes, fingernails, forward facing trichromatic eyes, ears, nostrils, lips, teeth, a brain, heart, lungs, liver, stomach, intestines, an appendix, blood, veins, arteries, similar muscle and bone structure (ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists, knuckles) - they eat, sleep, dream, breath, urinate/defecate, communicate, procreate, die, etc.Biblical creationists would have us believe that, instead of sharing a common ancestor with these animals, humans are made out of dirt in the image of an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, space-less, timeless, all-good creator of the universe and somehow we turned out to share more than 95% of our DNA with modern day Chimpanzees.....God cannot be classified as being of an earthly gender.God is often referred to as fatherhttp://stella-walsh.suite101.com/bible-study-scriptures-supporting-god-as-father-a137532 why does it say in the bible that women have no power over a man and that they have to be silent and obedient. - please provide the verse(s) that mentions thisI Timothy 2:11-14 - "Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression."I Corinthians 14:34-35 - "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church."Ephesians 5:22-24 - "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything."The bible also contains instructions of how to handle slaves, and that you can beat them and also instructs when to rape a female slaveCare to reference this?(care to know the bible yourself at all?)Leviticus 25:44-46) (text above)Exodus 21:2-6) If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him. If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.' If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever.Exodus 21:20-21) When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property.1 Timothy 6:1-2) Those who are under the yoke of slavery must regard their masters as worthy of full respect, so that the name of God and our teaching may not suffer abuse. Those whose masters are believers [Christians] must not take advantage of them because they are brothers but must give better service because those who will profit from their work are believers and are beloved.Deuteronomy 21:10-14) When you go out to war against your enemies and the LORD, your God, delivers them into your hand, so that you take captives, if you see a comely woman among the captives and become so enamored of her that you wish to have her as wife, you may take her home to your house. But before she may live there, she must shave her head and pare her nails and lay aside her captive's garb. After she has mourned her father and mother for a full month, you may have relations with her, and you shall be her husband and she shall be your wife. However, if later on you lose your liking for her, you shall give her her freedom, if she wishes it; but you shall not sell her or enslave her, since she was married to you under compulsion.World culture and morality changes over timewouldn't the morality of an all-knowing ever-existing god be fairly constant?
