Its called the Bible. Superceeded Darwin by many thousands of years.

The Bible is not scientific evidence. If anybody is willing to claim it as such, I (and others, I am certain) would be more than happy to point out the scientific errors and contradictions scattered throughout the Bible.

Examples:

Four-footed insects:
Leviticus 11: 21-23
[21] Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
[22] Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
[23] But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.

Coneys and Hares chewing their cud:
Leviticus 11: 5,6
[5] And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
[6] And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

Are you really sure that you want a scientific analysis of the "truth" contained in the Bible?

You know why Noah had seven pairs of each kind of clean beasts on the Ark but only one pair of each kind of unclean beasts? No joke, history.
