I would disagree with you completely. I know that I am not wrong. I don’t make this statement lightly, or from an understanding based on opinion, or simply what I have been taught or studied. Rather, I make this statement from an experienced position. I was a liar, a thief, a drunk and a fornicator, but God, through Jesus Christ has saved me and changed me (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). I am adopted into the family of God (Romas 8:16, Ephesians 1:5). I am not who I used to be (2 Corinthians 5:17). This is not because I have a greater knowledge or opportunity, but rather this is open and available for anyone and everyone (Romans 10:13) through repentance and faith (Acts 20:21).
What is science? it is man studying and gaining knowledge of what is studied. Science tries to determine the what, how and why of things. However, this is wrong from its conception. Not the desire to know these things, but because it is based on fallen man’s ability. Which is why man is always proving and disproving theories. Therefore man’s assessments are always open to revision or change. Why, because man is fallen, and his reasoning is based on his fallen understanding.
Which leads me to your question of how can we believe the Bible. Allow me to say that the Bible has never been revised, why? Because to revise means to correct or improve something. The Bible tells us that God cannot lie(Hebrews 6:18) and the Bible is the written testimony of Christ (John1:1, 1.14 ). In fact The Bible states that Jesus Christ is THE Truth (John 14:6). The Bible is the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15). The Bible also says that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forevermore (Hebrews13:8). So for one to say that the Bible has errors or decrepancies would be calling God a liar. To which he is not, because as shown earlier, it is impossible for him to do. However, satan is a liar and the father of it (John 8:44). So to conclude, I choose to believe God rather than man because God is true, and man is a liar (Romans 3:4)
So to answer your question, yes, we are to simply believe the Bible because it’s true.

Here some of the logical fallacies ChatGPT found in your post:
Begging the question: This is a fallacy where the premise of an argument assumes the truth of the conclusion, without providing any evidence for it1. For example, the statement “I know that I am not wrong” begs the question of how the speaker knows that they are not wrong, and what criteria they use to determine the truth.
Appeal to authority: This is a fallacy where the speaker relies on the authority or reputation of a person or source, rather than on evidence or reason, to support their claim1. For example, the statement “The Bible tells us that God cannot lie” appeals to the authority of the Bible, without explaining why the Bible is a reliable source of information, or how it can be verified.
Appeal to emotion: This is a fallacy where the speaker tries to persuade the audience by appealing to their emotions, rather than to logic or facts1. For example, the statement “I was a liar, a thief, a drunk and a fornicator, but God, through Jesus Christ has saved me and changed me” appeals to the emotions of guilt, gratitude, and hope, rather than to any rational argument for the existence or intervention of God.
False dilemma: This is a fallacy where the speaker presents only two options, when in fact there are more possibilities, and implies that one of them must be true1. For example, the statement “I choose to believe God rather than man because God is true, and man is a liar” presents a false dilemma between believing God or man, and assumes that God and man are mutually exclusive and opposite sources of truth, without considering other alternatives or nuances.
Slippery slope: This is a fallacy where the speaker claims that a certain action or event will lead to a series of undesirable consequences, without providing any evidence or logical connection for the causal chain1. For example, the statement “If you go outside without a coat, you’ll catch a cold and infect the rest of the family. Then your sister will have to miss class and she’ll get a bad grade and fail her course” is a slippery slope fallacy, as it exaggerates the potential outcomes of going outside without a coat, and does not account for other factors that could influence the situation.
