We want to believe the Bible is perfect, but there are a few plot holes in there that have always bugged us. Here are the nine most glaring plot holes:
Adam and Eve never exchange pronouns. Adam and Eve seem to get along fine, but the author forgot to include a scene where they exchange pronouns. How did they know how to refer to one another?
It's totally unrealistic that Noah would have let geese on the ark. And cats, for that matter.
Why didn't Mary and Joseph just ride the Eagles into Bethlehem? They go on this long journey when Gandalf could have just summoned the Eagles.
Why do the Israelites lead the Nazis right to the Ark of the Covenant? This has bugged us since our first readthrough.
Why was the Melchizedek plotline never wrapped up? Who's writing this, JJ Abrams? Such a red herring.
How did King Solomon survive so long having 1000 women, assuming all their periods were synced up? This just goes beyond the realm of credulity to lazy writing.
Jesus comes back from the dead like it's nothing -- a major deus ex machina. Just out of nowhere, He's back at the last minute to save the day, right when He's needed to help win the Battle of Helm's Deep.
Why is John a bitter old man living on an island milking aliens by the time he wrote Revelation? This really felt like too much subversion.
Why does God send His Son to save humanity when humanity is literally just the worst? The motive was never really clear here. Did the author expect us to believe God loved the world so much that He sent His Son to die for us? Come on!

"So, it comes down to this," said Gary Lansing, his heart pounding. "Will I have peace in my soul and a gentle spirit, or will I be completely insufferable to my family and anyone who comes into contact with me? It is all on what this boy several states over does with his foot."
"You have to bribe early to get the best prices," said Fred Drummond, a lobbyist for several large pharmaceutical companies. "Last year, we were able to land a dozen representatives and four senators on great deals. Ever since Congress started running these Black Friday specials, our lobbying dollars have gone a lot further. Never before have we been able to influence so much legislation in our favor. If you are looking to buy off some lawmakers, you cannot beat Black Friday."
"There is literally nothing else we could do except forfeit," said New York Mets General Manager Carlos Mendoza. "They have managed to sign every single baseball player currently walking the face of the earth. I heard they signed three contracts with unborn infants, too. I hate to say it, but they beat all of us. And by "beat us," I mean they made it so we literally cannot sign any players. Because they are all Dodgers now."
