Mmm, I'd forgotten that there's mention of a unicorn in the OT, and apparently it is not an attempt to describe a rhinoceros for which old Hebrew already had a word. There are also many types of bird identified in bible translations which similarly are completely unknown to science. Much like the contents of the book of mormon really.

Well, now, let's be fair...
There is a tiny smattering of fact in the bible.
They did, after all, get the names of a few kings & countries right, and a few battles (though the results are generally exaggerated towards the Hebrew perspective).

So let's give it 1% "fact." It's only fair :)

The Bible also got the names of some cities and towns right, as opposed to the Book of Mormon's naming of supposed cities in the Americas.

Right.
So...bible 1.01% fact, BoM 0.0000001% fact.

"Lord of the Rings" has a higher proportion than either :)
