If you are looking for a perfect book, for mankind, which is out of error, kindly read the Quran – the meaning of this Arabic word is 'to be read'

Hi Friends,
Let me to stop this subject. Peoples are not ready to keep this discussion away from religion. I am not trying to send a reply for this mail, Because I dont want to hurt the religious peoples who believe Bible is full of truth. Any way I would like to inform the fans of Bible that Bible is not a perfect book. It has some wrong statements also..

To,
Dear Mr, Dinesh
The Bible is not a scientific book or a historic book, But we can find out so many scientific things invented by the scientist and also the beautiful history of past.
There are so many prophecies in The Holy Bible. If you can compare the daily news papers and The Bible you can find how the prophecies and fulfilling day by day.
All these things are saying that
�THE BIBLE IS TRUE, JESUS IS TRUE AND HE IS COMING SOON�.
If you start reading The Bible like small child, The Holy Spirit will explain you the marvelous things in The Bible, Because The Bible is written by so many poor, illiterate peoples with the help of Holy Spirit.
Bible is starting from the time of human beings, Plants & Animals in the earth.
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
�IN THE BEGINNING� (Please find some useful references)
THE CREATIVE AGES Creative ages�from the dateless past to the end of the seven
days of Genesis 1:3-2:25. The period may be called the dispensation of angels, because
angels ruled various planets (Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 28:11-17; Col. 1:15-18).b[made perfect and inhabited] Deut. 32:4; Job 38; Psalm 18:30; Eccles. 3:11.
c[The world that then was] "The world (Greek: kosmos (GSN-2889), social system)
that then was" embraces the pre-Adamite universe, to which all fossils and remains
belong.The Dateless Past
"In the beginning" refers to the dateless past (Proverbs 8:22-23; John 1:1; Acts 15:18;
Ephes. 3:9; Col. 1:18; Hebrews 1:10; Hebrews 11:3; 1 John 1:1; Rev. 1:8; Rev. 3:14).
Genesis 1:1 is the introduction to the Bible and all of history, because it marks the
boundary between time and eternity. It is not a summary of what is to follow, because it
mentions heaven first while the following verses mention the earth first. Job 38:4-7
makes it clear that the heavens were created first or the stars couldn't have rejoiced when
the earth was created. This proves that Genesis 1:1 refers to prior acts of God. Genesis
1:2 shows that the earth was under a flood of judgment. And, the verses which follow
refer to the earth's restoration to a second habitable state. That God existed from all
eternity is clear in Scripture (Psalm 90:2; Psalm 93:2; Proverbs 8:22-31; Micah 5:2; John
1:1-3; Hebrews 9:14; Rev. 1:4-8; Rev. 4:8; Rev. 22:5,13). What He did in all the dateless
past, besides creating the spiritual, moral, and material universes, is not revealed (see
Deut. 29:29).The Age of the Earth
There is no conflict between science and the Bible. However, real scientific discoveries
must be distinguished from theories. Science�especially geology�is still in its infancy
and the testimony of rocks is uncertain. True statements of God's Word must also be
distinguished from man's interpretation of them. We can't say how old the earth is
because we don't know when the beginning was. God's creation of the heavens and the
earth could have been billions of years ago. If geologists can prove the age of the earth
to be what they claim, we have no scriptural authority to disagree. They can't contradict
the Bible, however, because it doesn't reveal any time element in connection with the
earth's original creation. This much is certain according to Scripture: The earth is more
than six thousand years old and was inhabited before the days of Adam. It was cursed
and flooded because of sin before the six days of re-creation in Genesis 1:3-2:25. Lucifer
was already a fallen creature when he came into Adam's Eden , having already ruled the
earth and rebelled, causing the first flood (Genesis 1:2; Isaiah 14:12-14; Jeremiah 4:23-
26; Ezekiel 28:11-17; Luke 10:18; 2 Peter 3:5-7). See Lucifer's Flood and The Pre-
Adamite World.Fifteen Things which the Bible Does Not Say
1.The beginning was 6,000 years ago.
2.The earth was created 6,000 years ago.
3.The six days' work of Genesis 1:3-2:25 was the same as the original work of Genesis
1:1.4.The earth was created as chaos and flooded as in Genesis 1:2 (Isaiah 45:18).
5.The earth was created waste and empty as in Genesis 1:1 (Isaiah 45:18).
6.Light and darkness were created in day one of Genesis 1:3-5. This isn't true because
they were present in Lucifer's kingdom before Adam. When the earth was flooded
because of sin (Genesis 1:2; Psalm 104:6-9; 2 Peter 3:5-7) the heavens withheld
light, causing the darkness of Genesis 1:2 (Jeremiah 4:23-26).7.Clouds and the water in them were created in day two (Genesis 1:6-8). On the
contrary, they had been giving rain on the earth all through Lucifer's reign on earth
(Isaiah 14:12-14; Job 38:4-30).8.The earth was created in day three of Genesis 1:9-13. It was actually created "in the
beginning" (Genesis 1:1), and was in existence during the flood of Genesis 1:2 and
the first two days of re-creation (Gene sis 1:2-8).9.The earth was dry land for the first time in day three (Genesis 1:9-13). It was dry
land from its creation in the dateless past to the time it was flooded because of sin
(Genesis 1:1-2; Psalm 104:6-9; 2 Peter 3:5-7). It is called "earth" (dry land) in
Genesis 1:1.10.The earth brought forth vegetation for the first time in day three (Genesis 1:9-13).
There had been fruitful places in Lucifer's kingdom (Jeremiah 4:23-26).11.The sun, moon, and stars were created in day four.. They were created in the
beginning before the earth existed (Genesis 1:1; Job 38:4-7). The work of day four
concerned their regulation with the restored earth.12.Birds, beasts, and man were first created in days five and six, about six thousand
years ago. On the contrary, some were created for Lucifer's kingdom and were
destroyed in Lucifer's flood of Genesis 1:2 (Isaiah 14:12-14; Jeremiah 4:23-26; 2
Peter 3:5-7).13.Adam was the first man ever to live on the earth. People and nations were on earth
when Lucifer ruled (Isaiah 14:12-14; Jeremiah 4:23-26; 2 Peter 3:5-7).14.The heavens, the earth and all things therein are a product of evolution. On the
contrary, God created them all (Genesis 1:1; John 1:3; Ephes. 3:9; Col. 1:15-18; Rev.
4:11).15.Human beings as we know them today have evolved from lower forms of life. The
Bible teaches that man was created perfect and highly intelligent, with the ability to
name all other created things. Since the day he fell, man has become depraved and
ignorant compared to his original state (Genesis 2:7,15-25; Gene sis 3:1-24; Romans
1:18-32; Romans 5:12-21; Ephes. 2).b[God] Hebrew: �Elohiym (HSN-430), Gods. See The Trinity.
c[created]
Bara'�"Create," Defined
"Created" in Genesis 1:1 is from the Hebrew bara� (HSN-1254), to bring into being
(see Hebrews 11:3). It is used 7 times in the first two chapters of Genesis (Genesis
1:1,21,27; Genesis 2:3,4). In all other places "made" and "make" are used, proving the
six days' work to be mainly reconstructive. In Genesis 1:1 the universe is brought into
existence; in Genesis 1:21 sea creatures are created; and in Genesis 1:27 man is created.
Thus, bara� (HSN-1254) is reserved for the introduction of the three great spheres of
existence: the world of matter; the natural life of all living creatures; and spiritual life
represented by man.God's original creations include the heavens, the earth, and all things therein as first
brought into being�made perfect the first time. Genesis 1:1 refers to the beginning of
the creative ages (Job 38; Psalm 8:3-8; Psalm 19:1-6; Proverbs 8:22-31; John 1:3,10;
Acts 1:4-26; Col. 1:15-18; Hebrews 1:1-12; Hebrews 11:3; Rev. 4:11). The six days of
re-creation (Genesis 1:3-2:25) end the creative ages, and are distinct from the original
creations of the heavens and earth.d[heaven] Hebrew: shamayim (HSN-8064), heavens, usually plural.

Adam and Eve are not the first human beings in the world. As per bible we calculated the age of Adam as around 6000 years. But we know the age of human beings is not less than 60000 years. And we know it is not possible to creat an animal from its bone. Like many other false statements are there. Among that we could find out some scientifically reasonable statements also by crosschecking bible. It does not mean Bible is full of truth.

> Things In The Bible That Science Can Not Explain The purpose of this page is not to explain what a great science text the Bible is, but to show that it is consistent with scientific facts. Still, the Bible mentions some things that we can not explain. Yet, if God is really God, He should have the ability to do some things we can not explain.
> In the last 100 years (and especially in the last ten) scientists discovered many proofs that confirm the Bible's accuracy. Since these proofs support the accuracy of the text we can understand scientifically, it makes sense to trust the Bible's text that we can not yet understand. (For example, how many people knew what hydrothermal vents were 30 years ago?) If you would like to see the proof we have for the accuracy of the Bible, click on the link below.
> How Do You Know The Bible Is True? If you like reading books, a good one that addresses the facts that support Christianity is Know Why You Believe by Paul Little. There is an advantage to a book�it does not change as a page on the Internet can. Plus, a million copies of Paul Little's book have been printed (about 40 times the number required to be called a "best seller") which proves it is not an isolated person's opinion.

"Life is an echo; all comes back,
The good, the bad, the false, and the true.
So, give the world the best u have &
The best will come back to u. "
