depends how you take it? . some people may interpret it differently. like some christians may believe that although the bible says god created the earth in 7 days, it was impossible and believe that there must of been a different time scale when it was written. if you don't believe in the bible , why are you asking about it. . . ? to try and dig at the people who believe. do you take everything litreally ?

The Bible does not contradict itself nor does it support materialism. Scripture recognizes that money is necessary for survival, but it warns against the love of money (see Matthew 6:24; 1 Timothy 6:10; Hebrews 13:5). Money is dangerous because it deceives us into thinking that wealth is the easiest way to get everything we want. The love is money is sinful because we trust money rather than God to solve our problems. Therefore in drawing biblical principles, we must view all scriptures in context and not in isolation and to compare scripture with scripture.

I think you mean contradict. Because the bible represents only two percent of all that was written. There's a hell of a lot more that's kept from the world by The Vatican. Misunderstanding across cultures is a common thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aD465Ft2QQ
