If by "accept" you mean hear and understand, many Christians do. They just fine greater evidence, if you will, in their faith.

Greater evidence? No. It's called cognitive dissonance. They see a contradiction and therefor must rationalize it into their worldview. It's a basic principle of psychology. They simply rationalize conflicting information, and refuse to accept the most logical information, and often make horrible explanations and hold to them strictly because not doing so invalidates their worldview. You can put your hands over your ears and not listen all you want, it doesn't change the truth.

Even the appearance of so many contradictions in the Bible is a contradiction in itself. 1 Corinthians 14:33 says "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints." If God is the author of the Bible, then he is in fact an author of confusion. He encourages dissent instead of discouraging dissent. Paul's supposed conversion experience, the two dissimilar accounts of the death of Judas, and the dissimilar accounts of the events at the tomb are some good examples of events, even if true, that were described in terms which encourgages dissent instead of discouraging dissent. If God exists, it would have been a simple matter for him to inspire the writing of the Bible much more clearly than he did, but what would one expect from a God who allowed hundreds of millions of people to die without ever having heard the Gospel message?
