Ah, yes, one of the classics; the “gotcha” argument. 
“And it was the third hour when they crucified him” Mk. 15:25, “And when the sixth hour came, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour” Mk. 25:33. If Jesus supposedly hung on the cross for three hours, why does this say his crucifixion lasted from the third to the ninth hour, being six hours? Furthermore, if it was supposedly from noon until 3 p.m. does that fit with the third to ninth hours?

”and God said, ‘Let there be light’” Genesis 1:3; “and God called the light day, and the darkness he called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.” Genesis 1:5; “And God said, ‘Let there be lights in the heavens to separate the day from night’… And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day” Genesis 1:13,19. So, God created light, separating day from night on day 1, but didn’t create the sun and stars until the fourth day? Really?

Sounds contradictory to me.
