That bible experts cannot agree on what the bible means, and which of its doctrine is important, makes for a strong argument that it is a historical document, neither inspired, nor univocal, nor inerrant.

If it were divine, then its meaning would be clear beyond debate.

In other words, it's just a bunch of mythology invented by dudes in the bronze age, and nothing more.

Yeah, this is why in a way Catholicism and Orthodox makes more sense where you have an ultimate authority chosen by god to update Christianity. Has its own issues though like the time when the pope issued purgatory skip papers for money to fund pet projects.

Hey now let's be fair here, most of it is iron age. Up until the Assyrians it's probably describing mythology and legend that takes place from roughly the stone age, chalcolithic, and bronze age.
