You mean, inerrant? No. In agreement with most of science, though not a science book? Yes. Vastly misunderstood by believers and unbelievers? Yes.
When the Bible uses terms like four corners of the earth it is misunderstood by most critics to have said the earth is flat. When it says the sun is rising theologians have misinterpreted it to mean the sun revolves around the earth. Things like that.
