General Discussion

Mythologies are made up stories indeed, whether they teach life lessons or explain nature.

Both the Jewish faith and Catholic Church belief systems and existence today, however, are fact based.
You can Google about them and test your claims. And remember as you date things, that all civilizations have begun with an official oral culture before those histories were written down on scrolls.

The Old and New Testaments of the Bible are both supported by a substantial amount of documentary and archaeological evidence.
The Old Testament, also known as the Hebrew Bible, has its textual integrity well-established through the existence of multiple manuscript copies, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, which date back to 200 B.C. to A.D. 68. These scrolls, along with other ancient copies, provide strong evidence that the text we have today is largely identical to what was originally written.
The New Testament, while its original manuscripts are no longer extant, also has strong support through the existence of numerous early copies, both in Greek and other languages, which demonstrate a high degree of agreement with each other.

Here's a more detailed look at the evidence.

Dead Sea Scrolls:
.The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which contain a near-complete set of Old Testament books (except one), provides invaluable insight into the textual history of the Old Testament. These scrolls, dating back to the first century BCE, confirm that the text we have today is very similar to what was written centuries before.

Masoretic Text:
The Masoretic Text, a standardized version of the Hebrew Bible developed by Jewish scribes over centuries, also provides strong support for the textual integrity of the Old Testament.

The Septuagint:
The Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, also provides a valuable source of textual comparison and corroboration.

New Testament Early Greek Manuscripts:
The New Testament has a vast number of early Greek manuscripts, both fragmentary and complete, dating back to the second century CE. These manuscripts, though not the original autographs, provide a high degree of textual agreement with each other, demonstrating a high degree of textual integrity.

Patristic Writings:
Early Christian writings, known as Patristic literature, often quote and reference the New Testament, providing further evidence of its textual transmission and usage in the early church.

Archaeological Evidence:
While not directly related to the text itself, archaeological evidence can corroborate events and settings described in the New Testament, lending credibility to the historical accuracy of the narratives.
In summary: Both the Old and New Testaments are supported by a substantial amount of textual and archaeological evidence, which demonstrates their general historical and textual integrity. While the Bible is not a primary source of historical information in the same way as other historical texts, it offers valuable insights into the past and is well-supported by available evidence.
