Default Anachronisms In The Bible

What are the most glaring anachronisms in the bible? For me the most glaring are the large number of English names in the new testament, like Peter, John and King James. This proves it was all made up much later.

And no one says 'Oy Vay' either.

And what are the chances that the place most famous for sodomy in the bible, just so happens to be called Sodom? I expect it was just down the road from Wank. Talk about making it up.

And the main character just happens to be named after the one thing people yell out during sex. What an obvious ploy to boost readership.

Are you seriously claiming that events of the OT took place in Bavaria?

You might as well claim that Babylon's in the Czech Republic.

I'd like to know what the lost sin of "gomorrahy" is.

Probably just as mispronounciation of - or a 'Ye Olde Englishe' spelling of - gonorrhoeae.
