Made-up creatures? Wait..... DRAGONS aren't real? Aww, dammit!....*shoulders slumping*.... Well, guess I'll just tell Santa to get me a cherub, instead. I mean, they're pretty cool, right? Plus, I heard you can teach them to play a harp.....

The bible is just a lot of mythology, most of it re-runs from previous cultures and religions.

Even the story of a god born of a virgin is a tale from previous history.

The amount of myths in the bible is pretty much as long as the bible is long.

I could write 2 books as long as the various bibles on all the myths, contradictions, falsehoods, logic holes/flaws, reasoning errors and so on. Ofcourse other people have already done exactly that.

There's another one that didn

There's another one that didn't make the list because of the version:

    nephilim

[King James Version]
Genesis 6:4
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

[New Revised Standard Version]
Genesis 6:4
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went in to the daughters of humans, who bore children to them. These were the heroes that were of old, warriors of renown.

So... they were originally called giants but now they have a new name.
