For those saying that it hasn't been proven true: were you there?

Time and again.
Start with the "Absurdities" and "Contradictions" sections, and then go from there...:

I see many answers here who say yes, but there are many holes in their logic. If anyone cares to debate me on their argument, please feel free to contact me and I will explain why you're wrong.
Too much to list here, but I'll name a few.
The one about the bats are not birds... You're using today's classification of speciation language which didn't exist when the Bible was written. So, in their language it was a bird. You can't call someone's language false. That's like saying people from England are wrong for spelling "tire" as, "tyre".
Unicorns were called unicorns because it was a single horned animal which was most likely a rhino of some kind.
The list goes on and by the way, Noah's ark was found in Turkey. But even if it isn't Noahs ark, it doesn't disprove the story.
By the way, the theory of macro evolution cannot be disproven either because there's no way to test the theory. Nor can you ever test the big bang theory. So, it is not falsifiable which means, by definition, it is not a science. It is a faith based belief which is only proven in the imagination. That, my friends, is a religion by definition.
So, people who believe in the bible, admittedly follow a religion. And true followers don't try to prove it to others. We understand it takes faith to believe in it, which is not a crime, nor a measure of a level of intelligence. Einstein believed in God, and the bible. Does that make him an idiot?
I only wish that people who believe in macro evolution (not micro evolution which is proven) would finally admit that there is no proof nor will there ever be.
Then we can ask the question "If no religion is allowed in schools, then why is the religion of macro evolution taught there"?

Are you actually saying that if the bible could be used in a court of law, you'd believe?! Are you actually saying that the test of whether something is true or not is how it stands up in a court of law?! You can't honestly believe that whatever is "proven" in a court of law is, in fact, true? You've never heard of the guilty getting off or the innocent being found guilty? C'mon! I thought you atheists were supposed to be smarter than that! Some of these questions are very disappointing in that regard. Now, in answer to the question, no, of course not! So what? I, as a Catholic, am willing to stop believing once you atheists prove without any question that God doesn't exist because you can't do that anymore than I can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he does.

Nope.
Nor has it ever been proven that a single word of the Bible is TRUE beyond a reasonable doubt...

The thing is:
God mad the Bible...but humans wrote the pages
The bible had messages like peace and understanding...but the romans made it popular
In history Christian leaders with the Vatican spread the world of god......while nobody had access but as SELECT few to the bible and deadly punishments awaited those that didn't like it
Thing is the bible is good......as long as you have a brain get rid of the propaganda in it
True or Untrue? Depends

Well, take Noah's ark. Creating an entire species of up to billions from a single mating pair? I think that's pretty much been proven impossible.

Yes. The word "not". Untrue beyond a reasonable doubt for sure. :P

The bible say the following:
Gen 6:3 So the Lord said, “My spirit will not remain in 1 humankind indefinitely, since they are mortal. They will remain for 120 more years."
But a woman, Jeanne Louise Calment, has lived 122 years.

Yes. In Matthew 24:34 Jesus says the generation then living would not pass way before the Son of Man came back to end time and judge the living and the dead. That did not, in fact, happen.
Edit: Why the thumbs downs? Did the world end and I somehow missed it? Does it matter that I am Christian? More importantly, should it?

Obviously. It would be unreasonable to think that grasshoppers have four legs, or that the sun revolves around the earth, etc. But some people make being unreasonable into an art form...

If you take every word of the bible by itself, a singular word, there is nothing to prove or disprove. If you take those same words strung together, as they are in the bible, then you run into contradictions and untruths.
