What makes the bible special is the specificity of prophecy throughout the Old Testament. All telling of the messiahs birth, life, death and resurrection. As matter of history, the old testament was translated to Greek in the 3rd century BCE. It was in black and white, so to speak, nearly 3 centuries before the events happened.
Has it occurred to you that the stories might have been written the way they were with knowledge of the prophecies, to MAKE them conform?
