Does this mean that we can now discard parts of the Bible which only supply evidence as we find that it's not actually correct?
And by 'being inconsistent with what we know' I mean, what we have discovered using science and historical research. You know, the kind of science that has created the modern world.
The 27 individual books are the evidence. They individually discuss and outline the claim. The Bible is not a single entity no matter who claims it is--it is trivially easy to see that. If someone believes that it is, that is a clear indication that they do not know what they are talking about and their objections are a waste of time.
What part of the NT is "not actually correct"?
Regarding your last paragraph, that's pretty vague and seems designed to cut off discussion--not promote it. What specific thing in the NT has been disproven by science or historical research? My guess is that you don't really know what you are talking about. Go ahead, answer.
