    Show me something that isn't. Something that you can prove as untrue.

    Trademanic,

    Here are a two examples (of many) of contradictions that can't both be true.

    Order of creation
    Here is the order in the first (Genesis 1), the Priestly tradition:

    Day 1: Sky, Earth, light
    Day 2: Water, both in ocean basins and above the sky(!)
    Day 3: Plants
    Day 4: Sun, Moon, stars (as calendrical and navigational aids)
    Day 5: Sea monsters (whales), fish, birds, land animals, creepy-crawlies (reptiles, insects, etc.)
    Day 6: Humans (apparently both sexes at the same time)
    Day 7: Nothing (the Gods took the first day off anyone ever did)

    Note that there are "days," "evenings," and "mornings" before the Sun was created. Here, the Deity is referred to as "Elohim," which is a plural, thus the literal translation, "the Gods." In this tale, the Gods seem satisfied with what they have done, saying after each step that "it was good."

    The second one (Genesis 2), the Yahwist tradition, goes:

    or

    Earth and heavens (misty)
    Adam, the first man (on a desolate Earth)
    Plants
    Animals
    Eve, the first woman (from Adam's rib)

    Reference: A List of Biblical Contradictions (1992)

    Salvation through grace alone

    Ephesians 2:8-9
    New International Version (NIV)

    8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

    or

    Salvation requires works

    James 2:24

    24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
