Let's try this from another angle. Instead of "I have my Bible and every word in it must be correct!" (Which isn't possible, you just end up spinning in circles trying to apologize for every inconsistency...) you could try to examine the Bible as something written by men with a limited understanding of the world around them. After all, they didn't have microscopes and telescopes. They had their eyes and limited time to use them on things that didn't immediately impact their survival. Then there's the inability to write and pass down the knowledge they did manage to find. So we end up with their best guesses. Sitting around the fires at night and speculating about how they got there. It's a natural progression to think that if I came from my parents and they came from my grandparents then there must be some sort of linear line there. So why not start with just two people? After all, a herd of goats can start from just two goats and if you're careful you can soon end up with a whole bunch of goats.
As time goes by we learn more and more about the world around us. We learned that evolution happened. We learned that all life on earth is part of a greater whole. We're related and that's confirmed by several sources, not just one. The more we learn the more pieces we find that fit things together. And we still have Biblical items being thrown around like they're literal scientific facts. The world is over 4 billion years old. Not 6,000 years old based upon ancient mythology. I'm sorry, you don't get to pull out the Bible and overrule evidence with what you believe. What you believe has to change based upon what actually is. It's this idea that a belief deserves and must have our respect and consideration that causes much of the strife in our modern world. Islam isn't right, Christianity isn't right, Judaism isn't right. No religious belief that insists upon rigid non-alteration of the interpretation of holy texts can be right.
So when a person pops into a discussion and simply proclaims that the world is 6,000 years old and it's this way because the Bible says so... well, the Bible doesn't actually say so. You interpret it to say so. Others interpret it to say so. We use evidence to come to conclusions. And yes, sometimes the conclusions are incorrect. But even the incorrect conclusions are based upon data and are more correct than, "the world is 6,000 years old."
