Yes unfortunately the Bible is just a fascinating historical document. It cannot be infallibly true. Both the birth narratives and the death narratives in Mathew and Luke contradict each other and are not reconcilable. The narratives of the centrally most important events of the centrally most important character in the whole story contradict each other and are not reconcilable. These narratives would not be admissible in a court of law as evidence. Regardless of its other merits, if the Bible contradicts itself, it cannot be infallibly true. If it is not infallibly true, then it can not be the word of God. Sorry.
