And naturally the Bible contain numerous scientific inaccuracies. The earth is not flat, bats are not birds, the sun cannot just 'stop in the middle of the sky' and miracles are completely impossible according to everything we know about anything at all and even if some miracle did happen, the Bible contains multiple contradictory accounts of events and as such can't be trusted as a reliable account of them.
The assembled knowledge of the last two thousand years puts the Bible in contradiction with basic knowledge we teach to children, which inherently renders it useless as a reliable accounting of anything.
In addition, without getting into the specific claims of the Bible, what enables us to discard the Biblical miracles can be consumed in razor form.
"What can asserted without evidence can dismissed without evidence."
"What cannot be settled by experiment or observation is not worth settling."
"The explanation that requires the least numerous, most parsimonious assumptions is probably the correct one."
