Bible as Historical Narrative

Some people just won't believe no matter what you say. And that's ok I guess. But it's hard not to believe when there is a wealth of data to back up the claim of the bible. No other religious writing is as accurate a historical narrative verified by archeology and science. 66 books, written over 1000's of years, by a host of authors inspired by God. Here's a list. Examine them for yourself. Make your own decision. I will believe even without the evidence.
