"The Bible is a collection of different books from different time periods cobbled together all at once."
The Bible was inspired by God and was written over thousands of years by many men. This makes the unity of its message profound. It is written in many different literary styles, this is confusing to those who don't take the time to understand this important message to us from our Creator.
"you can produce striped animals by having the parents mate while looking at a specific pattern."
