LOL, this is suppose to prove what. I can give you evidence that the American Civil War happened, but that doesn't mean that Scarlet O'Hara and Rhett Butler actually existed.

Maybe its best you follow my convo with final fan as I'm explaining most of these things. Again, it's not something to be taken alone, it's support to more complete pieces that makes it glue together. I mean to start, at the very least the places described are historical. That already defeats Runa's Big Fish comparison. There are few hyperboles in the bible relative to the historical accounts of the bible, so this does give a certain firmness to the case. Again it's not proof but would invalidate at least certain counterpoints. I mean at least the Odyssey mentions real places. It's like the count of Monte Cristo. I mean the book is fiction, but at least it has a historical setting to start. That already provides a measure of credibility to the piece as compared to, say, Avataar.

Even taken together, your arguments still fail. As i said, you're committing several errors. look back at what I posted regarding believable lies. Also, the Bible is full of mythological elements, and I think it has several 'hyperboles' also.
