Well.... yeah.
But evolution doesn't make more or less sense to me just because the Bible is a bunch of hooey. Evolution has to sink or swim on it's own merits just like the Bible.
The difference is, individually, the Bible sinks and evolution swims.

Ok, then since Napoleon didn't write an autobiography, should you conclude that those who wrote biographies are false?
And since others wrote about Mark Antony and Cleopatra, is that all fable as well?
And since land grants are no longer legal, does that mean that United States laws are all bogus? It was legal once, but not now, simply because there was a reason for it to be legal then, but now there is a reason for it to be illegal.
With very few people on the earth, it's impossible for the species to continue without close relations having sex... there simply weren't non-related couples. That's how it necessarily is with small populations. Afterward, when people are separated by multiple degrees, the prohibition against sex with close relations makes sense to increase genetic variance.
The statement that "The Bible is False" is also incorrect and incomplete. Much of what the Bible says has been proved true. Perhaps not all of the spiritual part, but certainly much historical.
What it sounds like is that you heard that the Bible contradicts itself, but that you haven't actually investigated it much yourself. Try looking into it.
BTW... I'm not a Christian. I don't believe the Bible to be a way to salvation. I just like to look at critiques of any religion more objectively.

The Christian bible is simply a book. Regardless of what anyone, Christian or non, says, it is nothing more than many words written by many different men over a very long span of time. Don't spend too much time debating this issue for there are too many experiences to be had in this life which don't involve concerning yourself with the inapplicable and ancient collection of thoughts called "The Bible". Try debating George Orwell's 1984. This book is admittedly fictional thereby eliminating the eternal head scratching created by excessive bible reading. Just read the bible if you so desire, get a few lessons from it (lessons which most Christians do not even employ themselves), then pick up a different book. Ask yourself if you really care who begat who. Ponder what you would think of someone if they walked up to you in 2006 a.d. and told you that they had a vision of god speaking to them through a burning bush. Would you take it literally? Would you call him a nut job? Would you take the underlying philosophical implications and move on?

OK so you don't believe in the Bible because it contradicts itself, but where exactly does it do this, you do not state, or, are you just repeating something that you have heard from others?So have you actually seen this contradiction as you say it is such a contradiction, have you even researched or looked into it at all to either disprove it or prove it to your self?, If you have not read any of it which is what it sounds like you haven't since you do not say anything about this! how can you possibly say this without even looking into this contradiction yourself and citing the place this contradiction where it exists. I will not answer any of your other questions that you ask there in this statement, that you state as fact without any backup of this so called fact how would you possibly know if you don't even look into it?how would you respond if I stated something about you without ever having seen or met you about your appearance or looks/would you like someone else to believe it without having met you or seen you either? But I will tell you you are wrong about the Bible being False, this is not right what you are claiming, because you are listening to a liar (2Corinthians4:4) The Bible is true you are not!considering, that, you may not, even have, looked at it for yourself, how could you possibly know if it is true or if it is False? Impossible.

Incest was not a sin until 2500 yrs later when God gave the Law to Moses, so actually you're WRONG (what a surprise) and that is not a contradiction.
So now that you've been shown that your reason for not believing the Bible is FALSE, are you going to belive it? Probably not. That's because you were not really being honest about why you don't believe. You don't want to believe the Bible because it condemns the sin that you so love. No matter how much evidence you are presented with, you will choose not to believe because you love your sin.

Not all facts found to be true, it is the freedom will that is given to all of us to accept or not to accept. It your choice! The only reason the bible is still existing. Ask anyone who has completely changed after a long period of time in jail or need a second chance. Yeah, Jesus can be hard to understand by spoken parables which can sound crazy and not to be heard. Once you have the opportunity to ratify between the line by his words... click it make sense! Go on living the freedom will is no relationship with God words. Otherwise keep on knocking until you see it and believing it. It the same as a friend told you something that was the truth, so couldn't beleive him until you see it... that is called "no faith" with your friend... that's just a example how a lot of us feel with his words and being blind not to be able to see it.

First off, your assumption that 'children had children' with each other is false, because what you said is not based on fact nor the Bible. Your assumptions are false because they are based on attitude toward the Bible not a record of history.
The Bible is a historical record with many hidden truths so that people like you may not understand, do you think that millions of people would believe in something so false? I think not. I totally can see through your intention, you want others to think like you, but my friend, everyone will believe what they believe and will face whatever choices they make in the end.
I would recommend taking reading the Bible with an open mind and heart.

ok monkey go beat on your chest, you don't see the point of the bible, evolution cannot be proven, however a lot of the bible can be proven by science, including the flood, earths short age, dinosaurs being able to exist, the long life of people, the large size of people, and the bible explains many things such as coal oil and fossils to name a few. you will never see the bible as it is ment to be seen cause you refuse to, you are closed minded and have no desire to learn anything, even if the bible said that George Bush is the president from 2001-2008 or unil he ies or resigns you would claim it to be false cause you don't want to beleive it or give it a chance, heres a tip, go ***** some place else. Go in Christ

What does incest have to do with evolution?
God didn't "ban" incest until Leviticus, when there were enough people on earth to choose mates from, without resorting to marrying a close relative. In the beginning, they didn't have other options.
Try reading the King James. Other Bibles have intentional translation errors (intentional on the part of the publishers!).

The bible originally called the Engeel was indeed bestowed on Jesus,the son of Mary.
He was a prophet like many.So was Mohammed and Moses.
He did have the power given by the almighty to cure people.
However he was not God or his son.Jesus never claimed to be one.
This was invented by St Pauls many years after his death.
Thus was produced a concoction called Bible.
And since then there have been 49 version of it.
But soon there will be 50 because God has been given a gender.
So god is 'he' and it needs correction.

We know there is deceit in the bible but should we throw out the baby with the bath water ? No of course not ;that would be as stupid as accepting it in it's entirety. One must learn to discern the good from the taint to gain it's worth even if it is just food for thought .Maybe Jesus was just a man glorified by liars as god that is no excuse for ignorance . Use your best judgment and if haven't any, learn to develop some .
Sorry if this response fails to apply to you but nothing is for everyone.
