That's a pretty low bar.
Even if the human characters in the OT actually existed, how in the world would that provide any evidence for the existence of Yahweh, and all his magical powers?
I don't see the connection.
There's pretty good evidence that at least some of the characters in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey existed (Mycenaean, Hittite and other geological evidence seem to corroborate at least some). Does that lead to credence that Zeus existed?
Indeed it is a low bar, the fact that they have spectacularly failed to clear it (Moses is a rip off of Sargon and Solomon's monotheistic kingdom was swarming with polytheistic temples...) is rather telling.
