Can you prove that? Can you, even in one place, prove that the Bible is wrong?

Please use the word day in Geneisis one as an example.

1Sam.17
[12] Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: ...
[14] And David was the youngest:


1Chr.2
13] And Jesse begat his firstborn Eliab, and Abinadab the second, and Shimma the third,
[14] Nethaneel the fourth, Raddai the fifth,
[15] Ozem the sixth, David the seventh:
At least one of those accounts is weong

The Bible gets the value of pi wrong.

"And [Solomon] made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about." [1 Kings 7:23]

The three common excuses include 1) it wasn't a circle (but, only one diameter value is given), 2) it is an estimate (but, still a wrong value, and rounding is a form of error) and 3) there was a wide brim (fairly specious, see google for plenty of rebuttals).

The net result is that the Bible states that the value of pi is 3. I do not think we would have progressed very far with that value.

Leviticus 11:21-23 says that locusts, bald locusts, beetles, and grasshoppers have four feet. They are insects. As such they have six, not four.

[21] Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
[22] Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
[23] But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.

Here's another one. Leviticus 11:6 says that they hare "cheweth the cud".

[6] And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

Hares do not "cheweth the cud". The hare and the rabbit check out their poop to see if there is anything still good left in it. If there is still food there, they eat their poop. The hare cheweth the poop, not the cud.

Here's two sets of words from the Bible:

"Thou Shalt not Kill"

"Thou Shalt not suffer a witch to live"

Which is correct?

Bats aren't birds. See Leviticus 11:13 IIRC

The Bible clearly states that Pi is equal to 3.
