The only things in the bible that are historically accurate are the things that the bible stole from other religions. First off, there are many, many things in the babble, errr.... I mean bible, that are proven WRONG. Age of the earth, length of time humans have been on earth, that the sun and other planets revolving around the earth, etc, etc, etc. It goes on forever. Besides, a few tidbits of fact laced throughout a book doesn't make the whole thing true, and is by no means unique. The Harry Potter books talk about a subway in London. So since we can prove that there actually IS a subway system in Lonon, does that mean that everything written in the books are true? Hell no, it doesn't mean anything! But that's essentially exactly what you're saying about the bible.

Besides, every other religious text has SOME historical truth in it as well. So by your logic, they are also proven historical documents and should be believed in whole-heartedly.
