Since I'm limited to 1000 characters Im not going to list every shred of proof we have of this fact. If you're interested please read "The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel.
I'm more concerned the growing number of people that have been dupted into this lie that the Bible contradicts itself and has been "proven false." Nothing is farther from the truth. Not everything in the Bible has been proven, but a great deal has been proven. The Bible has NEVER been proven false. 100% of the contradictions I've ever been presented with have all turned out to have an explanation with even a very shallow bit of study.
You can't just read the Bible and expect to understand everything right away like a simple science book. You have to dig deeper. When you come accross something that appears to be a flaw. Recognize that something is out of place and study it a bit. You'll find that the fault was in your own understanding of the verses not in the book itself.

The bible has been revised by man a whole crap load of times. Books were taken out and replaced. And sometimes things got lost in translation.

You don't understand the meaning of the word "proof". Your supposed explanations for countless biblical contradictions are no doubt based on semantics and what you'd like to believe. Unfortunately, what you wish to be true has no bearing on the actual truth. A lesson in deductive reasoning might serve you well.
"Deductive reasoning is a logical process in which a conclusion drawn from a set of premises contains no more information than the premises taken collectively."

Yeah, ANYTHING done by, written by, or interpreted by man is flawed. Because everyone knows man is not perfect. I have to stick with the Ten Commandments. I believe they were delivered to Moses from God and think they pretty much cover everything in all situations. I don't trust the words of people who molest little boys or preach hate for homosexuals and anyone else who doesn't agree with THEIR interpretation of sin.
I'm telling you try the Ten Commandments, they follow the K.I.S.S. theory! Which I think God would do knowing how much we truly don't know!

No, and neither do you.
You can believe it, but how do you know it is the word of God? Because the Bible says so? Poor circular reasoning.
I would almost believe the Bible is the perfect word of God if God told me himself that the Bible is the perfect word of God. But, since he's been quiet all these years, I guess he won't every verify that the Bible is the perfect word of God.
And I say "almost believe" because even if God validates the Bible as the perfect word of God, I would have to argue with it being perfect. After all, what kind of loving god would urge you to stone your children?

Josh, I'll limit myself to far fewer characters than you used, but I will tell you that you are wrong. Lee Stobel and his Case for Christ are not the final word on the Bible.
Please give us one example of a Bible contradiction that has been proved false. Thanks

Where to start? How about the Earth being flat? Or, that the Sun revolves around the Earth. Or, that an inerrant god can change his mind? Or...

If the Bible is the "perfect word of God" then God is a perfect Dick.
