Well, I'm sure at some point someone will start citing the flashy/gory verses, but here
is something more subtle...
The Order of events of the creation of the earth and life on it:
According to Genesis 1, God invents the following things in the following order:
--- light
--- darkness
--- heavens/expanse
--- dry land/sea.
--- "vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees..."
--- sun and moon ("lights in the expanse of the heavens..."
--- sea creatures and birds.
--- land animals - wild beasts, livestock and reptiles.
--- humans
--- the taking of naps
According to Genesis 2, the order is:
--- Male human
--- Garden of Eden
--- Trees
--- Rivers
--- Work
--- Animals
--- Zoology
--- Female human
--- Marriage
--- Nudity
And now the list according to the fossil record, as written by something known as "reality"
(1) a beginning;
(2) light;
(3) sun and stars;
(4) primitive earth, moon, and atmosphere;
(5) dry land;
(6) sea creatures;
(7) some land plants;
(8) land creatures and more plants and sea creatures;
(9) flying creatures (insects) and more plants and land and sea creatures;
(10) mammals, and more land and sea animals, insects, and plants;
(11) the first birds,
(12) fruiting plants (which is what Genesis talks about) and more land, sea, and flying creatures;
(13) man and more of the various animals and plants.

It's such a simple thing to get right... The order you summoned things into existence.
The Bible tries twice.
And is wrong.
Twice.
