Telling fact from fiction

Ignor: thank you

Yes, I'm looking for indicators of probable fiction. That's all. If you don't want to partake, that's fine. The point of this is try to get theists to think, and also to see if atheists can come up with new ideas for each other. I'm using fiction to mean "didn't happen as written". This may be due to it being totally made up, or it could be because the account is very inaccurate.

I'll start off then by giving my principles:

(1) Are the events being described consistent with what we know? Do they contain things we don't even know are possible? If they contain such things, it is probably fiction.

(2) How consistent is it? Does it make sense within itself? If it contains a lot of contradictions, then it is probably at least partly fictional due to inaccuracy.

Do people agree with these principles, and what others would you add?
