--I've been studying the Bible for over 45 years and have found in any major happening, geographical reference, historical incident, scientific reference, zoological reference, horticultural reference, medical or hygienic ideas etc. etc--to be as accurate as man has been able to put such things to the test. Every time it comes under biased views it always comes on top.
--These types of subject matter have been a constant irritation to the so called "higher critiques" & highly predjudiced "bible scholars"--not that all of them have been swayed by their own biased beliefs but a great many have.
--There have been many honoring things said about the Bible , here is an interesting few:
*** la part 3 p. 11 par. 1 The Book of Reliable Guidance ***
Immanuel Kant, an influential 18th-century philosopher, is quoted as saying: “The existence of the Bible, as a book for the people, is the greatest benefit which the human race has ever experienced. Every attempt to belittle it . . . is a crime against humanity.” The Encyclopedia Americana says: “The influence of the Bible is by no means limited to Jews and Christians. . . . It is now viewed as an ethical and religious treasure whose inexhaustible teaching promises to be even more valuable as the hope of a world civilization increases.”
Only a book of the highest caliber could meet all the criteria and much more that I mentioned above-
-*** w92 7/15 p. 3 Does the Bible Contradict Itself? ***
AUTHOR Henry Van Dyke once wrote: “Born in the East and clothed in Oriental form and imagery, the Bible walks the ways of all the world with familiar feet and enters land after land to find its own everywhere. It has learned to speak in hundreds of languages to the heart of man. Children listen to its stories with wonder and delight, and wise men ponder them as parables of life. The wicked and the proud tremble at its warnings, but to the wounded and penitent it has a mother’s voice. . . . No man is poor or desolate who has this treasure for his own.”

double negative aside this is a good question...I have yet to see any specific examples posted. Very interesting.
Remember though, that the Bible is not always meant to be literal.
One could argue very rationally that creation in seven days is impossible, but most biblical scholars agree that this was not meant literally. When you look at the steps of creation in Genesis, it is eerily similar to what science says happened. So I dont think the creation story has been disproved in the least, though it didnt happen in 168 hours.
Also, the evolution of the whole human species from strictly two people seems unlikely, but just because they were the first people with awareness of good and evil, I don't recall seeing anywhere that specifically said that they were the "only" people on the planet. They may have been the first to have awareness or consciousness...maybe they were just singled out as an example?

Well not disproven, but no evidence of an enslave population in Egypt has been found, even the pyramids were built by volunteers or paid workers.

Yeah - the circumference of a circle is NOT 3x its diameter. its 3.14167... times the diameter. A bat is a mammal, not a bird. And a whale is a mammal, not a fish.

There are no prophecies in the Bible that have failed, or been proven False. There are only prophecies yet to be revealed, which many refuse to accept or believe will take place.
Most of these people have never read the entire Bible, and have picked isolated scriptures which are taken out of context to support their disbelief.
NOTE: It should also be stated, that hundreds of prophecies have already taken place. Miji

You would think creationism would be proven wrong when we first discovered fossils of dinosaurs, Neanderthals etc. which shows that the Earth has been around longer than 10,000 years.

That will depend on your opinion of the Bible

That's a whole lot of negatives you've got there. Try rephrasing.

rephrase those double negatives so the point of your question is more clear, then I would be happy to answer.
