How do the hilariously numerous scientific inaccuracies present in the Book of Genesis, among other parts of the Bible...
Quotes of these "errors" would be much appreciated.
Actually, scratch that. Did it ever occur to you that science is fallible? If you agree, then saying that the Bible contains errors according to something that contains errors itself is illogical in my eyes.
Matthew 7:3 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" This is probably a terrible example, but imagine that you are science, now imagine that your brother is the Bible and that the speck of sawdust isn't really there but is only being perceived by you due to the plank in your eye which is man's utter foolishness and willful separation from God. THAT is the point I'm making here.
2 Peter 3:5 "But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed..."
Psalm 14:1 "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
You think you don't believe in God because of how smart you think you are? Right there is the reason, man's corrupt heart. Which came about how? The Fall, of course. Which came about how?! MAN'S FREE WILL, CORRUPT HEART, AND WAY OF THINKING!! To explain the last part of that sentence, man tries to compare the Bible to science (as you have so clearly demonstrated) instead of comparing science to the Bible.
Science is the study of the natural, not the supernatural, because the supernatural is a figment of the imagination unsupported by a single piece of evidence. Belief in the Christian God is no different than belief in the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Just because your fantasy is impossible to disprove doesn't mean it should be taken seriously. There's no logic behind randomly choosing to subscribe to one superstition while rejecting however many others the human species has concocted over the course of its existence.
1. The supernatural is not made up, anything man thinks is unexplainable (creation, the existence of God, etc.) he dubs as supernatural. Creation has been explained, and God's existence has been revealed to us (but not explained further beyond "He was and He always will be.") through the Bible, which has yet to be found to contain errors.
2. Um...randomly? Do people just spin a wheel in their heads with all the religions on them and go with whatever it lands on? A definition of superstition: "A belief, practice, or rite irrationally maintained by ignorance of the laws of nature or by faith in magic or chance."
Evolutionist - "See? God has nothing to do with nature because it came into existence because of a few molecules that thought they both looked hot hooked up and made humans."
Creationist - "God has a lot to do with nature, He created it."
E - "Well I think God used evolution to make nature."
C - "If He used evolution, which took billions of years, then what do you think about this? Genesis 1:8 "...And there was evening, and there was morning--the second day." If God created during a six day (morning to evening) period, how do you translate that into billions of years?"
E - "Because of this. 2 Peter 3:8 "But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." So God must have used thousands of years to make the earth."
C - "That verse is explaining that God is not bound by a dimension that we are: time."
E - "I don't care! I'll never believe what you believe because I think I'm smarter than God!"

This might be an utterly failed attempt at defending my faith, but I'm still learning and I wanted to try out these arguments on some adamant (not meaning that in a harsh way) atheists/evolutionists/the like... So you guys could consider yourselves test subjects.
Also, please don't interpret anything I said as bashing or an attack on you guys and your beliefs.
