A frequent question about the Bible, books such as Genesis and Exodus in particular, is whether they aren't just mythology; tale tails to explain a distant past that no one has experienced.
There have been historical studies done of the Bible, and it certainly has history in it that has been verified. That still doesn't allow one to logically conclude that it is all true.
Like historical novels, why can't clever men record history but also introduce fictional characters? In this case, God, the devil, Adam, Eve, Noah, Abraham, Moses, etc.
Are there also fictional places, such as Sodom and Gomorrah?
Can men discern the truth about the Bible, separate fact from fiction, history from fantasy? Should men either accept it all, or reject it all?
