Everyone has already done a fantastic job of answering those questions. I would have to agree with giblfiz in that it sounds like your girlfriend is equating disproving the existence of God by disproving The Bible.
The Bible is a work of literature, in my opinion. You cannot interpret it literally because there are just too many inconsistencies.
Matthew says Jesus' grandfather was Jacob, Luke says it's Heli.
Genesis can't decide if the beasts or Man came first. It also stumbles in deciding how many of what beasts Noah should take with him.
Matthew, Mark, and John cannot decide what Jesus' last words were.
The Bible also cannot decide if Judas hanged himself, or "burst asunder....all his bowels gushed out."
The list goes on....
This proves nothing except that The Bible is erroneous. It does little to disprove God.
The Bible had a bad editor with no eye for continuity; I've seen science books with the same.
