Then just give a straight answer to a straight question. If you are going to give vague and meaningless answers, then those to whom you give those answers are free to deduce whatever conclusions they wish.

2) Or does the Bible start out by telling lies?
Now for your questions:

The Bible is much more than history or science. It is TRUTH. It is not "cleverly designed fables".
The Bible is not a science textbook. Nor is it natural history - it is inaccurate on both counts.
