----------------------

ADAM & EVE ATE NO 'APPLE'

Contrary to popular belief, Adam and Eve 'specifically' did not eat an 'Apple' in the book of Genesis. The fruit is not actually named at all – it is referred to only as the fruit of “the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil”. The reason this misconception has come about is most likely due to the fact that in Middle English, the word “apple” was used to refer to all fruit and nuts (except berries). Over the centuries, this word(for understandable reasons) has stuck in reference to the Genesis fruit. [Genesis 2:17]

NOAH's ARK

We all know that ALL the “animals went in two by two”(male and female)… right?

WRONG!

In fact, all clean animals went in in groups of seven,
and unclean animals in groups of two. According to Jewish
dietary law, there are far more clean animals than unclean,
so the majority of creatures entering the ark went in as a
group of 7. [Genesis 7:2-3]

NO CHARIOT OF FIRE TOOK ELIJAH TO HEAVEN

Lolz..I can imagine one supposed bible scholar about to disagree asap...sure! Elijah was carried up into heaven, but not by a Chariot of Fire but by a "Whirlwind". The chariot of fire which we seem to have always presumed took Elijah up into heaven, only separated them before the whirlwind did its Job. [II Kings 2:11]

-----------------------

P.S: Opposing views are welcomed. Atleast open your bible
and read thoroughly(and understand in context) before
coming forward with a debate we can learn from.

2kings 2:10-11. Please read again and again. The prophet was taken up to heaven by the chariot through a whirlwind

mandarin:
2kings 2:10-11. Please read again and again. The prophet was taken up to heaven by the chariot through a whirlwind

11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly
a chariot of fire and horses of fire APPEARED AND SEPARATED THE TWO OF THEM, and Elijah WENT UP TO HEAVEN IN A WHIRLWIND.

I quite understand the perspective you wanna employ here. But, sir, deductive reasoning cannot override the contextual explicitness of that passage.

Deductive reasoning wud actually create more confusion coz it can give different mental illustrations to that passage.
It's imaginable to say, the chariot separated them and went on its way, OR separated them and vanished OR separated them and carried Elijah to heaven[as we'd all like to bliv].
So, why bother stress ourselves with controversial perspectives to this, when the passage is quite explicit?

Interesting facts.
