In any case, if the Bible is true then it is very good evidence to support the hypothesis that god exists. Much of the Bible is corroborated by geology, geography, archeology, literature, etc.
Geology, geography, archeology, literature, are solid areas of study.
So there is a foundation for the evidence being evidence for god. The question is is the foundation sound, is the argument valid, is the conclusion true?
The fact that the authors of the Bible describe the geography of the region in which they lived is not evidence that God exists.
Anymore than an accurate description of your country, your city, your street, your house, your personal library and what you had for dinner on Christmas eve in a story about Santa Clause coming down your chimney counts as evidence of the existence of Santa Clause.
