So, now I can add liar to your list of attributes.
@Pops, here is a non-exhaustive list of scientific disciplines you have to totally reject to accept the bible: Physics, chemistry, biology, geology, astronomy. The bible explicitly contradicts central tenets of all of these discplines. Therefore the bible by its own admission is incompatible with science.

Faith in selfless Unity for Good.
Well look at it this way, the bible says god created the world out of nothing somewhere between 6 and 10 thousand years ago. It makes no real account of the rest of the universe, not talking about other galaxies or planets and says that stars are simply fixed lights in the sky. Well all that is wrong. And it all contradicts astronomy (or cosmology to be properly correct) and physics at the most fundamental levels. With regards biology it claims that animals and plants were created separately on two days and have little to no relation to each other, and that man is not an animal but some sort of god manque. That is a total rejection of evolution (both theory and phenomenon) which, as we all know, is the cornerstone of modern biology, and one of the cornerstones of modern medicine (the germ theory being predicated on evolution being correct).
The list goes on, the bible speaks of a flat earth, describes a world wide flood (which given the world's reservoirs of water is impossible), talks about god controlling gravity and many other concepts which are flatly contradicted by science. So if you accept science you must reject the truth of the bible in respect of physical phenomena, and if you reject the bible's explanation for physical phenomena (essentially "goddidit") what is left for god to exist in?
