• The authors assume Genesis 1 is factual and go about finding external discrepancies from there as if Christianity monolithically accepted the creation accounts as factual and literal scientific accounts of the universe’s formation.

Come, come. The alternative readings you discuss are simply ways to get around this naked problem. If it wasn't a problem, there wouldn't be 90 million alternative readings.

There are four extant endings of Mark’s Gospel found throughout the various Biblical manuscripts and textual scholars tell us that none of the 4 endings commend themselves as original.

Again, the issue is what's there and accepted by at least some Christians. When this ending is no longer included in Bibles, then the SAB will have no excuse. Until then, you don't have a case.

The same lazy, hackneyed scholarship found throughout the SAB pervades skeptic’s lists of contradictions all throughout the internet.

ROTFL. The contradiction lists are aimed at the less well-read people; intelligent people don't bother with literalism.

There are more errors in the notes of the SAB than there are actual errors in the Bible.

To that point you haven't pointed out a single error in the SAB. All you've said is that there are numerous ways to interpret certain passages. There can be no errors where multiple interpretations are viable, only differences of opinion.

BTW, you should include Acts 19 in your discussion of JBap.

A well done piece. Are you British? I don't like the lack of commas; I would have added more.

• its possible he was viewed more as a Honi type).

Need to explain briefly who Honi was.

I like the mention of Fosdick at the end. Not many people today even know who he was -- you should footnote that and find a webpage on him. A great human being in many ways.

Web point: there are too many long sentences and the lines are too long for the reader's eyes. The paragraphs are also too big. You should break it up into smaller paragraphs and alternate longer and shorter sentences for a smoother flow. You should also put in tables, and then put in major quotes to one side. This would make the line length shorter. I have struggled with the same problem on my own website, so can sympathize.

Perhaps you failed to notice the <a href="http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/howto.html" target="_blank">How to use the SAB</a> section of the SAB website, where it says:

Please show us exactly where it errs with regard to these statements.

I was lazywith the SAB part. i really didn't feel like going throught it but if popular demand dictates I should I will

I missed the specifically "fundamentilism" comment but I did look for one like that there. I still think it errs in regards to literalism as well.
