I suppose it isn't, if you accept the notion that only the warm and fuzzy parts of the bible are meant to be interpreted literally.
I don't. I accept Christ, and what he taught and showed. It is that simple. HE is the image of God. Not a book. Not a nation. One person is the living image of the living God.
Christ is the Truth. If something is in contradiction to the truth, then that would make it a lie. Or at the very least... wrong/mistaken.

EP, here is some evidence of your type (I hope):
Look at this video by a prominent atheist:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIesXORjBps
Watch the whole thing, but pay special attention to what this world hero is saying at 4:10 onward. He says that Jews have contributed to the world more than any other people in general. This is evidence that YHWH chose Noah correctly.
Human rights in Israel have been evaluated by various human rights treaty bodies, intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations and individuals, often in relation to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict which forms part of the wider Arab-Israeli conflict and Israel internal politics .
When analyzing Israel's human rights records, a distinction between Israel proper and the territories that it currently occupies will be made. Israel proper is a multiparty parliamentary democracy, and while it is described as a Jewish state in the Declaration of Independence, [ 1 ] it includes religious and ethnic minorities. Some of these minorities claim de facto discrimination. In the Palestinian territories, successive Israeli governments have been subject to criticism by other governments and human rights groups inside and outside the country. While Israel does not have a constitution, it has a set of Basic Laws, intended to form the basis of a future constitution. One of those Basic Laws, Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty , serves as one of the major tools for defending human rights and civil liberties.
^ Like condell says, Israel is completely in the wrong place geographically. For some reason that region of people have been able to evolve into western culture right along with us, but we don't have Palastine or Iran or China to worry about in such close courtiers. YHWH chose well, imo.

But according to the bible EVERY nation on earth today descended from Noah.
It is also genetically impossible that here was a bottleneck just 4500 years ago.
Then it should be easy to find a scripture where God said he was breeding righteousness like dogs or sheep were bred.
Not dogs, but grapes and wine are used as allegory you can look it up yourself. "First fruits" means enlightenment before the masses catch on.

Based on what, other than a book full of contradictions?
Not a book
Then what? From what source did you come to accept what Christ taught and showed, as coming from God himself, if not from the bible? Did it come to you in a dream?

You mean they didn't get everything right? CURSES! Thow it away... I personally used to put a lot of credence in that train of thought, but I have since left it behind.

I learned about Christ from the writings (witness accounts) about Christ. It is a mistake to believe that just because someone put all of those writings into one book, that the bible is an all or nothing book. It is not, and there is no reason to believe that it should be read that way.
I learned about God from Christ. The truth of God. Some just by looking at the life and teachings of Christ. Some things through spirit.

That isn't a scripture talking about genetics that you said was in the Bible. Do you have one handy or were you wrong?
YHWH chose well, imo.
Chose what? Noah? I thought you were talking about Jews? Noah wasn't a Jew. Is this about genetics? Do you have that scripture yet? Can you prove there even WAS a Noah and a flood? If not, your argument falls apart.
Not dogs, but grapes and wine are used as allegory you can look it up yourself.
Wait, you said Noah was a puppy. Were they or weren't they dogs? Where is the scripture saying God bred people like dogs for fruit and liked their genetics?
You mean they didn't get everything right? CURSES! Thow it away
Good idea. That means that God didn't choose a singular Noah to be a genetically modified fruit puppy. Unless you've got that scripture, of course, that says he did.

Do you mean the gospels? But the gospels are impossibly contradictory.

So if a few different witnesses gave a few different details about a car accident, would that mean that the car accident didn't happen?
