A lot more than that. The Bible is a collection of stories, many of which were handed down from generation to generation orally. This is particularly true of the Old Testament. Many of the OT books are allegories, some are oral histories. None are meant to be scientific theories...

Except those many prominent religious authorities and apologists that endlessly push Biblical inerrancy, that every word of the OT and NT was inspired (and apparently ok'd) by the Holy Spirit. Even those NT books that took till the Third Century AD to accept after much disagreements. It has to be that way, how else will our congregation believe us?

Sadly, that is also the case in Australia but less so than in US.
 
are we still struggling for the meaning of life - YES! - we may enjoy parts of it and hate others but what does it all mean - the recent astronaughts just couldn't wait to get back to this wonderful ;shining ; vibrant planet from dead Moon!!

W.C. Fields anecdote..
A friend or colleague, often identified as Thomas Mitchell, visited Fields in the hospital, discovering him reading a Bible.
When asked what he was doing with the Bible, Fields allegedly replied, "I'm looking for loopholes"
