I love the Bible. The Bible can teach you amazing things, truths that speak to you in ways similar to art, music, or any other great work of literature. When expecting to get empirical truths from it, however, you obviously run into trouble. Looking for a truth of the human predicament, or simply your own predicament? Read well, the Bible, the Koran, whatever, can give you fantastic insights. Looking for the exact date the planet Earth came into existence? Not so much.
