the point of the bible isn't to be historically accurate. it's not supposed to be. it's to tell us a religious and moral truth, which is often times different than a historical. for example, the point of the babylonian exile wasn't that the ancient jews were exiled to babylon during certain years, but the reason WHY they were exiled--they broke a coventant with God.

I really dissagree with your statement of the bible isn't historically accurate, because it is, and many parts have significant historical documents of that time to back it up.

The thing is, the Bible also has significance against it being historically accurate, with several statements made not lining up with documents and artifacts from the time periods in discussion.

I know it's a lot of reading, but just skim it through a bit. It's certainly shorter than reading through the whole Bible.
