Contradict?

Your reply to me is just a repetition of how you think I am wrong. 

It takes more faith to believe in the Christian god than in the inflationary universe/big bang theory.

The inflationary/big bang + the laws of physics accounts for everything we can observe and test.

The inflationary/big bang is one mystery.

the nature of God, the supernatural world and their inhabitants, the afterlife, resurrection, the Trinity, souls,

Did those illiterate fishermen understand this was what Peter meant when he spoke of a day being a thousand years in gods time?

  Why didn't Peter simply tell these fisherman this instead of using metaphor that seems to have completely threw them?

It tells us nothing that "Elves did it" couldn't explain.

anything can be explained with "God did it"

Exactly. 

So an elf defined as omnipotent, etc., would also explain anything.

You have faith.....not evidence 

You believe because you want to believe

Atheists believe in all kinds of things....once they see the evidence

Maybe God is dead.  Oh wait....that's not in your magical rules

People back then (unlike you) understood what a metaphor meant. 

We exist in time. God exists outside of time. 

Whether science and Christianity contradict depends entirely on how literally the Bible is being taken. An unbending literal reading produces many contradictions. A liberal reading can be made to work with science. 

What Christianity are we talking about?

And where in the BIBLE does it state this, considering that god walked, talked and even wrestled with men in his time?

It is a fact that many Christian branches believe that the earth is only six thousand years old when science has proved this totally wrong. 

What about Noah's ark? Who's time did this event happen? 

What Christianity are we talking about?

Well, why would you assume that a book has to only either be taken literally, or only be taken metaphorically?

@YouFound_Lxam. Now we have it.   You have faith not based in evidence. So do the Muslims, jews, Hindus......etc

But somehow YOU are right.  Lol

But you can't back it up with evidence.

The atheist believes in so many things that have evidence

That doesn't answer the question. Quite obviously, there are different heuristics for various Christian sects. Some prefer a more literal interpretation while others, probably recognizing irreconcilable issues this causes, lean more liberal. 

Which Christianity is OP referring to?

The problem with you is that you believe the bible is indisputable only because it contains or is based on certain historical events. I mean, the bible, as many other literature books, are based on real history but at the end it is just a fictional book, we have to take it as it is.

For example, there is indeed a historical Jesus, but this man is completely different to the biblical Jesus. While the former was an average man that got married and had children, the other one is a fictional character who was born by a virgin mother, made miracles, rose from the death, and was deified by his disciples.

The bible has many books. 

In the verses I believe that there are certain context clues that help Christians to understand what parts of the Bible are to be taken literally and what parts are to be taken metaphorically.

But nonetheless, it is not smart to assume that the whole bible is to be either taken with a more literal approach, or with a more metaphorical approach

Then the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?” 29 And Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you have made a fool of me. I wish I had a sword in my hand, for then I would kill you.” 30 And the donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey, on which you have ridden all your life long to this day? Is it my habit to treat you this way?” And he said, “No.”

Then cite your evidence 

If I have evidence I DONT NEED FAITH

Now that we've covered all the talking points- how do you understand the Bible? Did the creation stories in Genesis happen thousands of years ago?  Did Jacob's flock get their spots by way of colorful wood? Did the Earth really stop spinning? Can donkeys and snakes talk? Was the flood global? What is the smallest seed?

Any 'yes' answer would contradict what we know scientifically about the world.
