**The names of the three magi - Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar - and the idea that there were three of them at all. The Bible never mentions their names, and it doesn't say how many there were either. It was assumed there were three of them because they brought three gifts.

* FountainOfExpies: Jesus. Website/ThisVeryWiki gives us the CrystalDragonJesus and MessianicArchetype tropes; if the authors have encountered Christianity, they can be assumed to be expys. Some of the most well-known, though, include [[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skywalker and his father]], [[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia Aslan]], Franchise/{{Superman}}, and [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Nagisa Kaworu]]. In RealLife, many individuals have claimed to be His reincarnation.

** The concept of the world being a few thousand years old—a tenet of Young Earth Creationism—stems from early attempts to date the age of the Earth by various scholars and historians, who used known history in conjunction with the Bible (note that Genesis, in the original Hebrew, doesn't give a specific date or rate of creation). Later on, the science of geology developed, and scientists found out that the world is much, much older than they thought...
** An aversion with the health laws in Leviticus. While they are dated ''now'', for the time they were surprisingly ahead of their time, including washing with water, getting rid of black mold, don't eat shellfish or pork (in that climate it was prone to disease more so than now, since we have better methods of treatment), and curing leprosy, among other things. Even the idea of a rest day is shown to be beneficial to mental health.
