If the bible was written so many years ago why do so many people still refer to it?

Has some of us moved on whilst others haven’t? Is it still relevant in this day and age?
Help me understand...

Lies are temporal. Truth is eternal. If someone wrote, "You shouldn't take deep breaths while under water." 5,000 years ago, the truth of that statement is not going to expire. The bible contains more timeless truth than any other collection of ancient writings on earth, but even the bible itself acknowledges that it is not 100% truth in Jeremiah 8:8.
