The problem there is that a religious text loses its authority if it’s full of demonstrably incorrect statements. Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus.
Once you’ve decided that you can just ignore anything that looks wrong, the Bible stops being a source of truth and becomes a Rorschach ink blot for you to see whatever you want in it.
It’s almost like religion isn’t actually meant to be a source of truth, or even faith or purpose, and is actually just a tool to control the poor who’s every positive trait is a function to that end
