No, The Bible has passed through many filters, most notably of relatively recent history is King James. I suspect the bias of the patron may be rationally assumed. For me it is more a users guide to life. Not a literal, fundamentally unchallangable source. A Guide.
I also believe it an error to subscribe Mankind’s method of keeping time, as relevant to the Universe. Of what use is Mankind’s shifting definition (leap years) of a day to Jupiter or the Ort Cloud?

King James, known contemporaneously as “Queen” James because of his rampant homosexuality.

Not that I assume the Bible translation that bears his name is necessarily any more (or less) inaccurate than any other translation - but it amuses me when some claim that his version is the ONE inspired by God.

If it’s not literal and unchallengeable, it’s not much of a guide.
