The bible is inacurate :
1)The total elapsed time between Adam and the flood was only 1656 years.
2) According to Genesis another ten generations elapsed from the time of the flood until the time of Abraham and that time is 520 years betwen Abraham and the flood.
The funny thing is that this would mean that all of Abraham's ancestors reaching back as far as Noah's son Shem would still have been alive at the birth of Abraham.
Biblical numbers are nowhere near reality, whether you take those numbers literally or not I still believe that if those people who wrote those scriptures down were inspired by God then no such error should occur.
3) Another evidence that shows the bible isn't inspired by God :
THE RAINBOW: The rainbow was the sign in which no flood would ever happen again. Of course thinking that the rainbow didn't exist before the flood is just can not be comprehended. For those of you who never read it the rainbow is the sign of the covenant that no flood would take on the whole world ever again.
4) something interesting also:
I Kings 6:1 assigns 480 years to the period between founding of Jerusalem Temple in King Solomon's fourth regnal year and the Exodus of Egypt. Solomon's fourth year was close to 960 BCE which would place the Exodus at 1440 BCE. Counting 430 years for the period of the Israelite sojoum in Egypt we move back to 1870 BCE. To this date are added the 215 years demanded by the total of Abraham's age upon entering Canaan (74 according to Genesis 12:4 in sync with Gen 11:26); 25 additional years before the birth of Isaac (Gen 21:5); 60 more years to the birth of Jacob and finally the appearance of Jacob before the Pharaoh at the age of 130. These 215 years added to the previous total yield a date of 2085 BCE for the entrance of Abraham into Canaan and a date of 2160 BCE for his birth.
As nice as it might appear it leaves out numerous chronological notices tucked away in other biblical texts (which proves that it was written by several authors at different periods of times and those authors though inspired by God failed to come with matched numbers, so even if you don't take the numbers the way they are supposed to be taken they don't even match in other texts)
1) the 480 years between the Exodus and the fourth year of King Solomon must include ALL of the following
a) the wilderness wanderings 40 years
b) the career of Joshua and his immediate succerssors
c) the judges
d) the long career of Samuel
f) the life, times and reign of David
In other words the biblical Numbers DO NOT SQUARE WITH EACH OTHER AT ALL
So if these numbers were not to be taken literaly we also find that they do not agree with each other with leave you guye with another problem.
