My point is, when people attack religion why do they attack insignificant issues, such as evidence for the validity of the religion, when such a broad and easily attacked aspect exists?
You gotta admit, that's a pretty good reason to attack the validity of the bible. It contradicts itself, that causes it to lose credibility.

IMO, it contradicts itself when it is interpreted along only one or two dimensions, especially when everything is taken literally. The Bible is a multi-faceted document rich in the sociology, psychology and emergent wisdoms of the times.
The Bible is also not a stand-in for empirical science. Might as well ask clergy to explain M-theory.

I'm all for biblical criticism.

You should be all for criticism in general.

Yup, as long as it's open for debate.
