Just going through the text quickly, here's a list of 47:
1) The universe is not less than 6000 years old. Yes, the Bible does say this.
[Skipping over everything about the chronology of creation because that's too easy.]
2) Not all animals are vegetarians.
3) Female humans were not created from male humans. While hyper-advanced genetic engineering could conceivably do such a thing, that isn't what happened with respect to humans.
4) Snakes did not lose their legs after they encountered humans.
5) No humans have lived more than 200 years.
6) No giants.
7) A 450 foot boat sufficient to hold all the animals cannot be made out of wood. By extension, a boat only 450 feet long is either insufficient to hold all the animals no matter what it's made of or would be unseaworthy.
8) Life could not survive being reduced to either 2 or 7 individuals.
9) A global flood did not happen. Not only is there no physical evidence for it, it is geometrically impossible.
10) Not all animals fear humans.
11) The whole earth was not all one language 4500 years ago.
12) The Philistines were not part of Canaan until 1200 BCE, 800 years after Abraham's travels from Ur.
13) Half the population of Egypt did not leave.
14) Leprosy cannot be cured via blood sacrifice of birds and lambs.
15) Human population cannot go from 70 to millions in just a few generations.
16) A serpent on a stick cannot cure snakebite.
17) Eagles do not carry their young on their backs.
18) Ai was not destroyed by the Israelites.
19) The sun cannot stand still in the sky no matter how you interpret the motion of the sun and earth.
20) Astrology isn't true.
21) You cannot grow nearly 2.5 kilos of hair and still have it attached to your head.
22) There were no armies containing more than a million people in 1000 BCE.
23) Leprosy cannot be cured by bathing in the Jordan seven times.
24) Leprosy is not a curse you can bestow on someone by sheer will.
25) The sun cannot reverse direction from the point of view of Israel.
26) The earth moves.
27) Darius I lived after David.
28) Ostriches are good parents.
29) The moon does not have its own light.
30) Stars cannot fall from the sky.
31) Unicorns.
32) Dragons.
33) Satyrs.
34) Nebuchadnezzar was not king of Babylon when Jehoiakim was king of Judah.
35) Belshazzar was not the son of Nebuchadnezzar nor was he any other kind of relation to him.
36) Belshazzar was not the king of anything.
37) Darius the Median did not exist (being a fictional character) and thus could not be the successor of Belshazzar.
38) There was no slaughter of all male infants under two in Bethlehem.
39) Muteness is not possession by the devil.
40) Mustard does not come from trees.
41) Epilepsy is not caused by the devil.
42) The earth was not covered in darkness for three hours approximately 2000 years ago.
43) Blindness is not cured by washing.
44) Shadows do not heal sickness.
45) Death existed long before humans.
46) Humans and other animals are of the same kind of flesh.
47) There are no people still alive from 2000 years ago.
I have avoided many possible metaphorical phrases and some multi-problem single statements.
