If any part of the Bible is proven to be untrue does that make the entire book suspect?

The whole damn thing is suspect...every religious doctrine and dogma is pretty suspect. They all basically say the same thing and have the same recycled stories throughout all religions. The flood story didn't start with Christianity. Nor the virgin birth. The list goes on.
If most Christians would actually read the Bible front to back they'd be amazed what's in it. I can guarantee most haven't actually read it in its entirety. They learn the summarized versions from CCD or Bible Schools, etc.
That goes with any other religious text too. Not just Christians or Abrahamic religions.

Capt Gregory Prickett - I was raised Catholic...that turned me off to religion. Although I never really believed in it either. I remember being a kid and just in my head questioning everything at church, everything at CCD. I stopped going to CCD in 9th grade after the church's version of sex ed...yep. And we stopped going to church because my dad couldn't wrangle five kids by himself. My mom is the Catholic one and he converted to it when they got married. Now he's Methodist. But she stopped going because she was having an affair and when she talked to the priest and he told her it was wrong, she didn't like that answer (not sure what she thought he'd say) and she stopped going. One time a girl in my class about 11th grade asked why we didn't go to church anymore (most people in my town are Catholic) and I said "Because it's stupid..." *Gasp* was her reaction lol.

no, but it is irrelevant. Often we don't fully understand something and that makes it seem untrue. Also, there are lots of the book that is figurative, and lots that is literal, and it sometimes is difficult to tell the difference. Then, some people expect the Bible to be literal in it's entirety.

Capt Gregory Prickett But is it true? If it isn't true then why do we acknowledge it. Wouldn't we be better off with the Thomas Jefferson Bible?

No. I would suggest you check out the Jefferson Bible. Thomas Jefferson took it upon himself to edit out all the magic and miracle stuff from the Bible, leaving the morality tales and parables. He felt the Bible was a wonderful source for such things, just needed to lose the other stuff.
