How can the Bible be infallible and fallible at the same time?

Nothing can both one thing and its opposite. Indoctrination badly twists minds, so that people have such nonsensical ideas as saying two opposites are true at the same time. I have heard that the word for "day" in the 7 days of creation in Genesis are literal 24 hour days in the original writings, and morning and evening of each day are mentioned in it. Apologists have the insane idea that they want the Bible to be true, so they try to find lame excuses for the many errors in it. Saying that a "day" may be thousands of years or millions of years is still too little when the Earth is over 4,500,000 000 years old. If a word can mean anything the apologist says it means that is like the part with Humpty Dumpty in "Alice In Wonderland". HD says a word will mean whatever he wants it to mean, and Alice asks if he is really permitted to do that. Certainly not if we are to have coherent communication! Apologists do not want sensible discourse. It helps their cause to try to confuse people. The issue of Joseph's father is another case of Humpty Dumpty at work. Some apologists try to hand us the line that one lineage for Joseph is Mary's. Both Matthew and Luke say the lineages are for Joseph, however. If the Bible can say "days" and "Joseph's ancestry" when it means "millions of years" and "Mary's descent", then any verse can mean anything at all and thus it means absolutely nothing. The apologists do not realize that their convoluted excuses only show the Bible is absurd 'gao pei' that is totally worthless. I already knew that, but it is nice to have the apologists prove it further inadvertently.
