Opinion Yes, The Bible can be regarded as infallible since it is inspired by God and has been remarkably preserved largely intact over the years. The alleged errors and inconsistencies do not stand up to the scrutiny of context, logic, archaelogical or scientific discoveries, or study of the original language used.

When and what books were chosen from when the bible was canonized?

When? Somewhere around 382 AD at the Council of Rome, also 390's at Councils of Carthrage and Hippo. It was the Catholic Church Councils that decided which books were to make up the books of the New Testament. If they were infallible to give us the Bible, as we have today, they must be the Divine interpreter that they still claim to be.
