Biblical Contradictions

I would just like to make a point: We really have no idea how "fine tuned" our universe is. We have no other universe to compare it to. So the argument that all the right conditions are "tuned" is somewhat invalid, and based more on personal opinion.

Why, because the Bible's not poetry, if it was it'd be horribly written.

Yeah, I know that... but thinking about a whoooole species developed just by this hand full of people?.... sounds a little bit hardcore for me...
I just wanted to know if there is anyone who ever thought this way, I never wanted to say that everyone should think so. That would be crule. I hope the Bible isn't poetry, because it REALLY would be horrible written. I just don't take every word so hard, because the Bible is still written by human.
Don't be so harsh, I am just a free minded 17 year old woman, I don't want to tell other people what they should think about. My thoughts are sirious, but the most people misunderstand what I am thinking about. Maybe because the most people forgot how to think.

The biblical inconsistantcies are due to two things: a poor understanding of the context that makes it appear contradictory (many times the Bible has more diverse meanings for words) and the fact that much of it was handed down orally.
