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...

Arithmetica is also old, but we still use it

@TicketyBoo doesn't change that we still use older books. It's the contents of the book that matter

The bible doesn’t cover all topics relating to life now though @basilfawlty89

@TicketyBoo true, but just saying the argument on the age of the book doesn't apply by itself.

I challenge. You give a hundred examples and I can give you a hundred passages and verses! I promise.

@puck61 the Bible doesn't answer my questions. The only religious book that does is the Zoroastrian Gathas.

@basilfawlty89 What does the Gathas have to say about touching a birds nest?

@puck61 it says to respect all life, including those of animals. Good thoughts, good words, good deeds.
