All history revolves around the Bible
First the Bible: Whether people agree with it or not, the fact is, the holy scriptures verify the truth of history the best. This incomparable written record is the most accurate and trusted of all for a reason. It passes any test devised by man or time. No other recorded holy document or book compares. Real history, archaeology, mathematics, and science align themselves continually with it.

Nice analysis, Brian X, although I've always liked Ecclesiastes. It's the one book that never seemed like it was cramming God down my throat.

The speaking snake tempting Eve is accurate?, Caine´s wife magical appearance is accurate?, a man living 900 years is accurate?. What has the Bible have to say about what happened to the Celts, the Romans or the Greek people at the time?, or the African and American ones, for that matter?, with which sources does it coincide, can you cite one?
So, in which chapter is Australopitecus mentioned? What does it say about the cave paintings in France? How does it explain Stonehenge? What, according to the Bible, was it that made us start using fire?

It's important not to confuse reality with wishthinking, what one would like. It is a false premise. Not because people disagree or not, just because the holy scriptures are human tradition and a mix of moral stories, origin myths, a few historical references, the propaganda of ancient peoples for nationalism and the power justification of elites, etc. The literary styles of the books are not history. Your best source for history would be the current mainstream history textbooks.
Confused?
