A single observation of a zombie not striking someone dead is sufficient to disprove this theory. In science we say that you cannot prove theories with observations but you can disprove them, the geocentric model was disproved by a single observation by Copernicus.
The question "is the Bible inerrant?" is in fact questioning the authority of the Bible.
