Bible'sScientificErrors
basedonalivedebatebetween
Dr.ZakirNaik(aphysician&ascholaronIslam)
&
Dr.WilliamCampbell(aphysician&ascholaronChristianity)

Dr.ZakirNaiksays:
First, we deal withAstronomy. TheBiblespeaks about the creation of
the universe. In the beginning, 1
st
Book, Book of Genesis, 1
st
Ch., it is
mentionedItsaysAlmightyGodcreatedtheHeavensandtheEarth,
insixdaysandtalksaboutaeveningandamorning,referringtoa24
hourday.Todayscientiststellus,thattheuniversecannotbecreatedin
a24hourperiodofsixdays.Qurantoospeaksaboutsixayyams.The
Arabic word singular isyaumplural isayyam. It can either mean a
day of 24 hours, or it is a very long period, anyaum, an epoch.
Scientists say we have no objection in agreeing that the universe it
couldhavebeencreatedin6verylongperiods.
Point No.2Biblesays in Genesis Ch. No. 1 Verses No. 3 and 5,Light
was created on the first day. Genesis, Ch., 1 Verses, 14 to 19 The
causeof lightstarsandthesun,etc.wascreatedonthe fourthday.
How can the cause of light be created on the 4
th
day later than the
lightwhichcameintoexistenceonthefirstday?Itisunscientific.
Point No.3 Further, the,Biblesays Genesis, Ch. 1, Verses 9 to 13
Earth was created on the 3
rd
day. How can you have a night and day
without the earth? The day depends upon the rotation of the Earth
Withouttheearthcreated,howcanyouhaveanightandday?
PointNo..4Genesis,Ch.No.1Verses9to13saysEarthwascreated
onthethirdday.GenesisCh.No.1Verses14to19saysTheSunand
the Moon were created on the fourth day. Today science tells us
Earth is part of the parent body the sun. It cannot come into
existencebeforethesunItisunscientific.
Point No. 5 TheBiblesays in Genesis, Ch. No.1, Verse No. 11 to
13Thevegetation,theherbstheshrubs,thetreestheywerecreated
on the 3
rd
day And the Sun, Genesis, Ch. No. 1, Verses. 14 to 19, was
created on the 4
th
day. How can the vegetation come into existence
withoutsunlight,andhowcantheysurvivewithoutsunlight?
Point No.6 TheBiblesays in Genesis, Ch. 1, Verses No.16, thatGod
created two lights the greater light, the Sun to rule the day, and the
lesserlighttheMoon,torulethenight.Theactualtranslation,ifyougo
to the Hebrew text, it is lampsLamps having lights of its own. And
that you will come to know better, if you read both the Verses
Genesis, Ch. No.1, Verse. 16, as well as 17. Verse No.17 saysAnd
AlmightyGodplacedtheminthefirmament,togivelighttotheearth
To give light to the earth. Indicating, that Sun and the Moon has its
own light which is in contradiction with established scientific
knowledge that we have. There are certain people who try and
reconciliate,andsaythatthesixdaysmentionedintheBible,itactually
referstoepocsliketheQuranlongperiodsnotsix,24hourday.Itis
illogical you read in theBible, evening, morning It clearly states 24
hours, it indicates. But even if I use the concordance approach no
problem.IagreewithyourillogicalargumentYettheywillonlybeable
to solve the 1
st
scientific error of 6 days creation, and second, of first
day light and 3
rd
day earth. The remaining four, yet they cannot
solve.SomefurthersaythatIfitisa24hourperiod,whycannotthe
vegetablessurviveforone24hourdaywithoutsunlight?IsayFineIf
you say that the vegetables were created before the sun, and can
surviveforone24hourday,Ihavegotnoobjection.Butyoucannotsay
the days mentioned are 24 hours as well as epochs You cannot have
the cake and eat it, both. If you say it is long period, you solve Point
No.1 and 3, the remaining 4 are yet there. If you say the days are 24
hoursday,yousolveonlyPointNo.5theremaining5areyetthereIt
becomes unscientific. I leave it to Dr. William Campbell, whether he
wantstosayItislongperiod,andsaythatthereareonly4scientific
errors or say It is a 24 hour day, and say there is only 5 scientific
errorsinthecreationoftheuniverse.
Point No. 7 Regardingthe concept of Earth, there are various
Scientists who have described How will the world end. Hypothesis
Some may be right, some may be wrong. But either the world will
perish or the world will live forever. Both cannot take place
simultaneouslyItisunscientific.ButthisisexactlywhattheBiblesays.
It is mentioned in theBible, in the book of Hebrews, Ch. No.1 Verses
No.10and11,andthebookofPsalms,Ch.No.102,VerseNo.25and26,
thatAlmighty God created the Heavens and the Earth, and they will
perish. Exactly opposite is mentioned in the book of Ecclesiastics, Ch.
No.1, Verse No.4, and the book of Psalms, Ch. No.78, Verse No.69,
thatTheearthwillabideforever.IleaveittoDr.WilliamCampbellto
choose which of the two Verses are unscientific the first pair or the
second pair. One has to be unscientific Both cannot take place. The
worldcannotabideforeveraswellasperishItisunscientific.
Point No. 8 Regardingthe Heavens, theBiblesays in Job, Ch. 26,
Verse 11, thatThe pillars of the Heaven will tremble.Quransays in
Surah Luqman, Ch. 31, Verse No.10, thatThe Heavens are without
anypillarsDon`tyousee?DontyouseetheHeavensarewithoutany
pillars?Biblesaysheavenhavegotpillars.
PointNo.9NotonlydotheHeavenshavegotpillarsBiblesaysinthe
first book of Samuel, Ch. No.2 Verses No.8, as well as the book of Job
Ch. No.9, Verse No.6, and the book of Psalms Ch. No.75, Verse No.3,
thatEventheearthhavegotpillars.
Point No. 10 In the field ofDiet and Nutritionlets analyse, what
does theBiblesay. TheBiblesays in the book of Genesis, Ch. No.1,
VerseNo.29,thatGodhasgivenyoualltheherbsbearingseeds,the
trees bearing fruits those that bear seed, as meat for you. New
International Version says The seed bearing plants, and the trees
bearingfruitsbearingseedsarefoodforyou,allofthem.Today,even
a layman knows that there are severalpoisonous plantslike wild
berries,stritchi,datura,plantscontainingalkaloid,polyander,bacaipoid
thatwhichifyouingest,ifyoueattherearehighpossibilitiesyoumay
die.HowcometheCreatoroftheuniverseandthehumanbeings,does
notknow,thatifyouhavetheseplants,youwilldie.IhopeDr.William
Campbelldoesnotgivethesevegetariandiettohispatients.
Point No. 11 TheBiblehas a scientific test how to identify a true
believer.ItismentionedintheGospelofMark,Ch.No.16,VerseNo.17
and18ItsaysthatTherewillbesignsfortruebelieversandamong
the signs In my name they shall cast out devils, they shall speak
foreigntongues,newtongues,theyshalltakeupserpentsAndifthey
drink deadly poison, they shall not be harmed And when they place
theirhandoverthesick,theyshallbecured.ThisisascientifictestIn
scientific terminology, it is known as the confirmatory test for a true
Christian believer. In the past 10 years of my life, I have personally
interacted with thousands of Christians, including missionaries I have
not come across a single Christian, who has passed this confirmatory
test of theBible. I have not come across a single Christian who took
poisonIhavenotcomeacrossanywhotookpoison,andwhohasnot
died.Andinscientificterminology,thisisalsocalledasthefalsification
testThatmeansifafalsepersontriesanddoesthistesttakespoison,
hewilldie.AndafalsepersonwillnotdareattemptthistestIfyouare
not a true Christian believer, you will not dare attempt this test.
Because you try and attempt the falsification test, you will fail. So a
personwhoisnotatrueChristianbeliever,willneverattemptthistest.
I have read the book TheQuranand theBiblein the light of history
andsciencewrittenbyDr.WilliamCampbell.AndIassumethatheis
atrueChristianbeliever,andatleastIwouldlikehimtoconfirmtome
about the falsification test. Please be rest assured Please be rest
assured, I will not ask Dr. William Campbell to have deadly poison
BecauseIdontwanttojeopardizethedebate.WhatIlldoIwillonly
ask him to speak in foreign tongues In new languages. And as many
of you may be aware that India is a land, which has more than 1000
languages and dialects. Only thing I request him is, to say these 3
words One hundred rupees, in the 17 official languages. There are
only17 officiallanguagesinIndiaandtomakeiteasierforDr.William
Campbell, I have got a One hundredrupee note. And this has all the
17 languages mentioned here. Besides English and Hindi, I will help
him.IgivehimabeginningEksavrupaiya,InHindi.Theremaining15
languagesarehereIrequesthimtoread.IknowthetestsaysThey
willspeakforeignlanguagesontheirown,withoutthehelpofreading
but I want to make the test easier, I want to see someone passing the
test Ive not seen any one. So if he cannot say it on his own, or from
his memory, at least read it. I dont mind Ill accept it. And I would
request the chairperson to give it to Dr. William Campbell. He has his
rebuttal 15 languages, Ek sav rupaiya 3 words only. What does
theBiblesay regarding Hydrology?Biblesays in Genesis, Ch. No.9,
Verse No.13 to 17, that After God, at the time of Noah submerged
the world by flood, and after the flood subsided, He said I put up a
rainbow in the sky as a promise to the humankind never to submerge
the world again, by water. To the unscientific person it may be quite
good Oh rainbow is a sign of Almighty God, never to submerge the
worldbyfloodagain.Buttodayweknowverywell,thatrainbowisdue
to the refraction of sunlight, with rain or mist. Surely there must have
been thousands of rainbows before the time of Noah, peace be upon
him. To say it was not there before Noahs time you have to assume
thatthelawofrefractiondidnotexistwhichisunscientific.
PointNo.12Inthefieldofmedicine,theBiblesaysinthebookof

Point No. 15 Mathematicsis a branch, which is closely associated
with science, with which you can solve problems, etc. There are
thousands of contradictions in theBible hundreds deal with
mathematics,andIllfirsttouchonfewofthem.ItismentionedinEzra,
Ch.No.2,VerseNo.1,andNehemiah,Ch.No.7,VerseNo.6,thecontext
thatWhenthepeoplereturnedfromexile,fromBabylon,whenking
NebucheldeserofBabylon,whenhereleasedthemenfromIsrael,they
camebackfromcaptivityandthelistofthepeoplearegiven.Thelist
is given in Ezra, Ch. No.2, Verse No.2 to 63, and Nehemiah Ch. No.7,
VerseNo.7upto65;thelistisgivenwiththenamesaswellasnumber
ofpeoplereleased.Inthese60Versestherearenolessthan18times
thenameisexactlythesamebutthenumberisdifferent.Thereareno
less than 18 contradictions in less than 60 Verses, of these two
Chapters. This is the list I dont have time to run through the list
There are no less than 18 different contradictions in less than 60
Verses.
Point No. 16 Further it is mentioned in Ezra, Ch. No.2 Verse No.64
thatThetotalcongregation,ifyouaddupifyouaddup,itcomesto
42,360.AndifyoureadinNehemiah,Ch.No.7,VerseNo.66,therealso

had to do my homework this is the list of Ezra this is the list of
Nehemiah.EzraCh.No2,NehemiahCh.No7IfyouaddupIhadto
do my homeworkif you add up, Ezra Ch. No. 2 It does not come to
42,360 it comes to 29,818. And if you add up Nehemiah, Ch. No. 7,
eventhenitdoesnotcometo42,360Itcomesto31,089.Theauthor
of theBible, presumed to be Almighty God, does not know simple
addition. If you give this problem, even to a person who has passed
elementaryschool,hewillbeabletogettherightanswer.Ifyouaddup
all the 60 Verses, it is so easy. Almighty God did not know adding
Nauzubillahifwepresume,thatthisisthewordofGod.
Point No. 17 Further, if we read, in Ezra Ch. No. 2, Verse No. 65, it
saysThere were 200 singing men and women Nehemiah Ch. No. 7,
Verse No. 67There were 245 singing men and women. Were they
200orwerethey245singingmenandwomen?Contextisthesame
Amathematicalcontradiction.
Point No. 18 It is mentioned in the 2
nd
Kings, Ch. No 24, Verse No 8,
thatJehoiachin was 18 years old, when he began to reign Jerusalem,
and he reigned for 3 months and 10 days. 2
nd
Chronicles, Ch. No 36,
Verse No 9, says thatJehoiachin was 8 years old when he began to
reign and he reigned for 3 months, 10 days. Was Jehoiachin 18 years
whenhebegantoreign,orwashe8yearsold?
Point No. 19 Did he reign for 3 months, or did he reign for 3 months
10days?
Point No. 20 Further, it is mentioned in the 1
st
Kings, Ch. No 7, Verse
No 26, thatIn Solomons temple, in his molten sea, he had 2000
baths. In 2
nd
Chronicles, Ch. No 4, Verse No 5, he had 3000 baths. Did
he have2000 baths or did he have 3000 baths? That, I leave it upon
Dr. William Campbell to decide which is correct. There is a clearcut
mathematicalcontradiction.
Point No. 21 Furthermore. it is mentioned in the First Kings, Ch. No.
15,VerseNo.33,thatBasha,hediedinthe26
th
yearofreignofAsa.
And 2
nd
Chronicles Ch. No 16, Verse No 1, says thatBasha invaded
Judah in the 36
th
years of the reign of Asa. How can Basha invade 10
yearsafterhisdeath?Itisunscientific.
(PointNo.22AlmightyGodHesaid,Iputuparainbowinthesky,as
a promise to the human kind, never to submerge the world again by
water.)
