the fools that have not read it...

It is not a matter of being false or not. The Bible is the inspired word of God written by people. The people wrote from their own experiences and from what they knew. If they were to describe a TV or an automobile, they would have been laughed at just as Columbus was thought a fool when he believed the earth was round. (The Bible says it is flat, standing on four pillars with the sky like a dome above it.)
The Bible is not a science or biology book. It is a faith book.

Its not about false.
I think the scribes tried their best to describe all the things addressed in the Bible accurately and honestly based on what they knew and believed at the time.
The problem with the Bible is a lot of the information has proven scientifically invalid or at least highly questionable , which of course brings the whole question of "divine inspiration" into question.
I mean how could God have screwed things up so badly?
Of course the best evidence of this is how the Christians squirm around trying to say things like "six days could mean 6 thousands or six million years"; I mean that's a pretty liberal margin of error. .

which piece? for a start, it was written by a guy, 400 years later, and 1000 miles away from location, via 3 language translations....reckon thats a good place to look for false info, and the other part, is that it has common threads to religous stories, that are 2000+ years older...eg Zoroasters had virgin birth, and priests with pointy hats, white smocks, incense burners, and small chimes bells...sound even slightly familiar??

Nothing about it is any more false than any other ancient historical accounting. There are a _lot_ of inconsistencies, but that doesn't make the book false, it simply means that it can't all be true. There's a big difference.

Everything in it the relates to science, ethics, equality etc is totally false or incredulous. The book is horrible. It teaches unscientific comments, legends, illogical rules for living, hatred for non-believers, misogyny, and racism. It is pro-slavery. The book is just incredibly bad.

It's just a book. What's so false about any other religious text, or other fiction book? What makes them false is that they're not true.

Nothing. Can't have a serious scientist one disprove anything scientific, nor can anyone historically disprove the facts which have been recorded.
Plenty of scientific evidence supports the Bible, you just have to get away from the bias of humanism to see it.
www.illustramedia.com - great scientific documentaries, I recommend them!

That whole "written by God" part, the world-wide flood, Creation, Adam & Eve, pi = 3, Revelation, rising from the dead, bringing a man back to life, parting the Red Sea, need I go on?

Well, for starters:
In the first chapter of Genesis, God creates the animals and then Adam.
In the second chapter of Genesis, God creates Adam, and then the animals.
Both accounts cannot be true.

The fact that it is constantly contradicting itself makes it really hard to believe any of it.
