. The Book which Christians claim to be Bible cannot be the actual Bible (which was from God) because it has lots of scientific errors and God (who created the Science) cannot make errors. See the link for list of errors http://www.irf.net/quran_bible_in_the_light_of_science_I.doc which even Dr. W. Campbell was unable to explain.

Excuse me, but this article is about the Koran, which is of the Muslim faith.
How about you give proper examples, which I am sure Christians will be able to defend. (you would be surprised!)

Which Bible are you talking about? I haven't heard of any errors in the Bible, but it is much more difficult to read if you're not a Christian and don't have the assistance of the Holy Spirit. Please keep in mind that the Old Testament is just a history book. Everything changed when Jesus came to earth and the two commandments in the New Testament are how we should live our lives today. Non Christians tend to take a lot of things in the Bible out of context which totally changes the meaning. They also get confused weather a passage should be taken literally are symbolically.
You should find the explanations to most of your questions at the link below.
God Bless!

Most of these "errors" are mistakes in translations by people claiming to know the ancient language that it was written in. Most of the material has missing or faded words and sentences . Where the interpreters put in what they think should be there. Or at least what seems to be there in the case of faded or missing letters and words.
Most of the current Bible is based on Abrahamic laws and legends.
The PreADAM and EVE stories are incomplete verses. As People still talk about the war in the heavens that occurred before the creation of the physical universe or shortly afterward. But has been taken out.
Also any changes from Matriarchal to Patriarchal societies made changes in the names of the Creator.Then the change from polytheism to monotheism.

Allow me to offer this view. .
How can ove 40 writers, in the spread of 1600 yrs, writing on the same topic, yet no contridiction?
How can a someone who lives hundreds of years ago, be able to foretell some things that will happen later? Even he himself do not believe?
I am talking about the prophecies given to the Prophets, and even they themselves do not believe.
If it is not a single principle chief writer, how could it be? But again, who can live more than 1000 yrs?
May I suggest, it is God?
As for those error you mentioned, they do not change the central theme of the Bible. And it is mainly due to human error in coping by hands.
You may urgue that it is not all that acurate. I agreed. May I ask, which is is more acurate that this old bible? None. No major changes for more than 2000 yrs (if including OT).
So . . . any issue?

(Job 26:7) He is stretching out the north over the empty place, Hanging the earth upon nothing;
THE EARTH AS SEEN FROM SPACE
(Job 26:10) He has described a circle upon the face of the waters, To where light ends in darkness.
THE SHADOW OF AN ECLIPSE.
(Ecclesiastes 1:7) All the winter torrents are going forth to the sea, yet the sea itself is not full. To the place where the winter torrents are going forth, there they are returning so as to go forth.
THE WATER CYCLE OF THE EARTH.
ALL VERY ACCURATE.

If there appear to be errors, it is from mistranslation. Stop searching far and wide for errors in the Bible and get a life.

I would say according to the words of Christ, go worry about the many errors in the koran before you start worrying about someone elses book.

1st, Nobody said God wrote the bible. It was written by men.
2nd, Who said science as we currently understand it is correct, when every few years they tell us they were wrong, we now understand it to work this other way?

You need to be more specific as your article was in reference to the Koran, somewhat different from the bible
