If I were going to criticise something I'd hope to understand it first, otherwise how do I know I'm right or wrong? This is exactly the problem that scientists rightly complain about with theists, when theists assert the ignorant. Theist extremists are wrong, and so are you.
The bible is 'true' for me, but then it's how you define truth. I'm not defining truth as empirically provable, I suspect you are.
It's very easy for theists to check supposed discrepancies in the bible on bible gateway - the concordance for every verse and chapter explains everything basically. From a serious study perspective. If you want an ignorant and uninformed opinion then the place to check is the skeptics bible. It'd be a bit like me consulting some creationist twonk for my ideas.
