You pick and choose what ?...All the ancient findings have worth as its all we have to educate us on our early history....you don't pick and choose to suit you per-conceived notions, scientists don't do that...again, its narrow minded....
The Bible ?... never read it.....but certainly untold scholars have so it must undeniably have at least some historical value...the places mentioned, the events, the thoughts of the various authors, the religious beliefs, the social life of the times and moral values it relates to us.....
denying its importance is akin to denying the importance of the The Pyramid texts carved on the walls and sarcophagi in the pyramids or ignoring the ruins of the Roman Empire.
We learn from everything at our disposal....
