It would show that the doctrine of biblical inerrancy is false, but I don't think it would effect drastically the most important parts of Christianity. Certianly some people have claimed this doctrine is the most important part of Christianity, (fundamentalist Christians) but that doesn't mean that they are correct.
Well, laying aside how incredibly important it is that the events described in the bible be factually accurate for the integrity of the faith........it would only show that the authors were human beings capable of telling tall tales, which is precisely the situation re the biblical narrative, and not exactly surprising in the first place.
