That's certainly a matter of interpretation. Were I more than normally
interested in baiting you I'd say GIGO, but I won't. I will merely say
that the Bible is not an easy read and that scholars do a great deal of
debating about what errors various translators introduced, so I think
it's a stretch to claim it as "intact".
I'll ask again. What part of the Bible is allegorical and what part is
literal? How is the unschooled reader to know the difference? Can't
really apply a reasonableness test, because almost nothing it in (even
the parts that I think you are claiming are essentially or completely
true) is amenable to reason, explanation, or the scientific method.

Are you stating an opinion here or a verifiable fact? If the latter,
