Is the Bible acceptable?

I just wanna know, regardless of whether this was discussed before:Is the Bible acceptable in discussions? Is it not ignorant to say, "well in the bible, it says" etc.From my point of view, in the Bible, having been translated into over 2300 languages and dialects, and being quite an ancient text written and rewritten by, if I may, primitives, things can become mixed up.Add to that nothing in the Bible is proven to be true. I therefore have difficulty seeing how anything related to the texts from the Bible are at all reliable sources of information.Please enlighten me.

That's true.But what if the discussion were something like: science vs. religion; evolution vs. creationism, theists vs. atheists? Would the religious side be biased if they brought up their holy sript?Cause otherwise, unless I am mistaken, there isn't really much the religious can prove or use in a discussion to win the discussion. Right?!
