Top 10 Most Illogical Moments in the Bible
The Bible is full of moments that completely defy logic. I have compiled a list of 10 truly illogical Bible moments.
Somebody once told me, "Just because some of the stories aren't true doesn't mean the whole book isn't true!" No, that's exactly what it means. It ruins its credibility. If someone lies to me, they're a liar, and I won't believe anything they have to say.
That goes for the Bible because I really don't think any of these stories even happened. They're so incredibly far-fetched. If you believe all the events listed below actually happened, then you may need to rethink your perspective because these moments are just too unbelievable to accept as fact.
Also, if you have a Bible moment to share, feel free to submit it.

Adam and Eve being told by a talking snake to eat a fruit that God said not to eat
It's impossible for everyone on the planet to be descended from only two people.
The whole story of Adam and Eve is completely illogical.
I think Genesis as a whole is entirely illogical.

Noah's Ark and the Great Flood
Why should children die for their parents' actions?
Additionally, Noah's descendants would likely have died out from inbreeding.

Some Biblical powers.
Powers you don't hear of in reality, just in the Bible.

Balaam's talking donkey
Ahaha, I didn't even know there was a talking donkey. I know the talking snake has always been called Satan but was written as serpent. But the donkey? It's like Shrek.
Did it have the voice of Eddie Murphy?
