No, they’re not. We know that translations of the Bible have induced error due to lack of original material, some of which has been remedied of late. Other errors have been noted, too. The Bible is God’s Word, true... but it’s filtered through man.
In addition, “let there be light” can be construed to mean that God triggered the explosion that began our universe.
To paraphrase a famous Catholic theologian: “When scientific evidence conflicts with Scripture, the error does not lie with science - but with man’s understanding of the word of God.”
