In what sense does that show the bible is "true?" Even fictional novels may refer to real people in history. So what?

Absolutely. For instance: the Louvre exists. Paris exists. Westminster Abbey and the Temple Church in London exist. Rosslyn Chapel exists. Leonardo da Vinci was a real person. So clearly The Da Vinci Code really happened.
Alternatively: New York exists; therefore Spiderman.
