Why is the Bible valuable if it's not scientific or historical?

The first thing that needs to be pointed out is the fact that this question contains two false assumptions. 1. That the Bible is not historically correct. 2. That the Bible is not scientifically correct. These two premises are false. The Bible is both historically and scientifically correct. Contrary to popular belief, neither archaeology or any other kind science has been able to dispute the veracity of the Bible. Men may question the accuracy of the Bible but true science does not.

However, these two facts are not the most important reasons that the Bible is "valuable". The Bible is God's message to man. It explains where man came from, where he is, and the choice he needs to make.

In the Bible God reveals to man that He is the Creator and that He created man. The Bible also reveals the "sin problem" to man. Man is sinful by nature and by practice. The Bible also reveals God's love to man and how that "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

Your choice is, will you believe in Him or will you reject Him and suffer the consequences and miss out on God's best plan for your life?
