In the category “nothing new under the sun” here’s a paragraph from John Woodbridge’s 1985 article “Does the Bible Teach Science” explaining that the issue is not whether the Bible speaks authoritatively on the natural world but how to faithfully interpret the statements that do.
The minor point here is that Christians will sometimes disagree on how to interpret biblical passages that touch on history and science. The major point is that if you skip the interpretative work altogether because the Bible supposedly makes mistakes or only speaks on “theological” topics, you’re building your house far outside the suburbs of historic orthodoxy.
