"Some people consider the Bible to be a fact."

The fact that they think their beliefs are fact, doesn't make their beliefs factual.

I've just read the story of Alice Cooper in Challenge available online, it is this type of revelation that puts lives right.

Mhaze the facts observed by the Bible characters were facts, their understanding or interpretation is not as we understand today. This does not make the facts false nor even their understanding. For instance they believed disease was caused by evil spirits, we know it is caused by bacteria. That fire and water washings removed evil spirits from diseased persons ot buildings. They both work in removing bacteria.

"Mhaze the facts observed by the Bible characters were facts,"

Moses separated the waters of the Red Sea to allow his people to cross over and escape the pursuing Pharaoh.

Fact?

Noah built a boat to hold two of every creature alive.

Fact?

Read the exodus account, the timing appears at the same time as the massive eruption in the Mediterranian causing a tsunami. The water receedes and comes back as a wall.

Noah's Boat referred to animals in an area east of Mesopotamia, a local area of the total known area of the world. Though primitive tribes around the world have ancient flood stories.

The facts is observed, the interpretation is how they saw the fact.

Of course we have people who want to change the facts because it does not suit their opinion.

World wide floods coincide with the last Global warming and the melting of the last Ice age.

Josephus,

Just because there was a flood doesn't prove there was a Noah.

Just because there was tsunami doesn't prove there was a Moses. Struth there isn't even any evidence that the Israelites were in Egypt let alone rescued by a member of the royal household.

These bible stories were just copied from other cultures. Noah is Gilgamesh. Moses is Sargon. The Pentateuch was written while the Jews were captive in Babylon and are Babylonian stories expropriated from their overlords.
