Can you cite some specific verse which you think is wrong?
I'm pointing out that your contention that in order to explain your magic book a person must either believe in fairies or believe that big mo got a bunch of shit right by accident - is false on it's face.
The contents of myth and legend can be accurate and inaccurate, but they're never accidental, and they have nothing to do with fairies. Magic book didn't accidentally get the details of life wrong, or right. It actively and intentionally promoted those ideas the authors believed to be right, wherever they found them - even when they were, in fact, wrong.
An appeal to absurdity and incredulity works better in the opposite direction. If magic book is the word of a god, is that god an idiot? Does the author of creation not understand creation? Sounds ridiculous, right? That in order to believe that magic book is the word of a god you might have to accept a god who doesn't get things right. That to believe big mo's every utterance is just true, you might have to accept that you follow the lunatic rambling of a 6th century warlord.
