However, if you are seeking ultimate meaning and purpose in life, or the absolute truth regarding the most important things in life, you have no reason to look for it in the bible if you cannot trust that it is perfectly true throughout.
These are things charlatans offer.
Why does life have a meaning and a purpose? What is this absolute truth of which you speak? Even if I did feel a need for any of these things a book of bronze age writings and myths from 2000 years ago is the last places I would look. I would be more likely to look at a recent book as it would have considered the latest scientific discoveries and knowledge.
The answers to what you seem to be seeking are in science not mythology.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
