I just got done with Richard Carrier's absurdly long essay on a single Biblical contradition, The Date of the Nativity in Luke. Some of the attempts to avoid a contradiction are pretty desparate, not that that's anything new. This resulution of Biblical contradictions feels the need to appeal to a copyist error on no more than nine occasions.
If fundies are willing to go to such lengths to avoid admitting the Bible is fallible, why not just take up this position: The Bible is infallible, but whenever anyone reads it, a malignant demon causes them to hallucinate contradictions?
