Disproving Odin - An Experiment in arguing with a theist with Theist logic

That is a wild generalization that simply is not true. I don't think there is anything in the Bible that couldn't have happened (metaphysically speaking). In addition, the Bible narrative has consistent themes throughout that do not contradict each other. It actually tells one big story that is certainly possible and in a lot of ways, makes sense of the human condition. Is there a parallel to that in Norse mythology? 

Before you go on about Gen 1-3, there are way way way more people that ever lived that believe Gen 1-3 was allegorical in nature than believed it to be literal.

If I recited back to you stories from the OT in their original form would you accept them as true? By original form I mean the ancient Babylonian and Sumerian mythology they are very obviously based on. If I recited back to you the story of Jesus in its original form - the story of Romulus... would accept that as well?

My point here is that the Abrahamic religions are not any different than older religions that we have arbitrarily deemed mythology.
