1. The events of Jesus life were deliberately fabricated
2. The events of Jesus life were remarkably predicted

How would we determine which of the two are true?

This is why I clarified I wasn't talking about prophecy, to eliminate #2. I can show you where in the OT the author of Mark got the material for the part about Jesus and the fig tree. This isn't any sort of prediction but a trivial bit of 'history'.

Therefore, answering your question, to me it's almost undeniable that it's a fabrication.

I'm listening. Please explain why it's undeniable.

But the rich, they got huge blenders and liquidized camels and squirted them with fine jets through the eyes of needles, so they're all coming up now.
So that's what Jesus meant when he chastised them, saying:

"You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel."

(Matthew 23)

Camel smoothies--yum!
