Error, Evolution or Different Revelations?

I grew up in a religious environment in which we were taught that every word in our Bible came directly from God.  The Bible was the final authority in our religion and it was used to prove the validity of all our doctrines.  Pastors would routinely declare that the answers to all of the questions of life could be found in the Bible if we looked hard enough to find them.  The way many arguments were settled was by quoting chapter and verse.  Anyone daring to question the person quoting Bible verses was treated as if he was challenging God Himself. 

Even though I attended a fundamentalist Bible College that held the same beliefs, it was a different environment because in many debates both sides supported their positions by quoting scriptures.  Sometimes it would almost seem that God was arguing with Himself since we all believed that God was an all-knowing entity and our Bible was His inerrant infallible revelation. How could anyone quoting the Bible be wrong?   Did an all-knowing God write one thing in one place and then write just the opposite in another place?  None of our teachers ever suggested that maybe God wasn’t responsible for the differing biblical positions behind the debates.
