No, it can not be said. In fact the opposite is true. The more one's knowledge of the Bible is increased, especially in the context of modern scientific fact and archeological evidence, the more one sees how amazing and accurate the Bible really is. With increased understanding of the Bible in its entirety, a remarkably consistant theme and message is woven through 66 books written by 40 different authors in 3 different continents and over a span of 2000 years. Everything from Genesis to Revelation points to Jesus Christ and that is overwhelmingly obvious to anyone who has studied the Bible with open eyes. Behind all the minds who wrote the Bible, there seems to be one intelligence, one author guiding the story. I won't declare that the Bible, particularly versions translated from the original languages, is 100% flawless in every way but for the reasons stated above, I do believe that there is divine authorship.

From my experience, most people who criticize the Bible as mere myth are either ignorant of historical and literary context or unable to understand the deeper levels of meaning and only see the surface ones. If what you said held true, why are there theologians, scholars, and highly educated individuals who firmly believe in the Bible with confidence?
