I generally question everything and accept the answers that make the most sense to me. So far, the Bible hasn't had many of those answers; science, atheists and observation have.

No, not really. Specifically if there was no "christ", agreed?
Generally, yes, Christianity can have good ideas or thoughts on things, regardless of what the Bible says. However, for the context that the line was used, no, it isn't. The basis of what was typed said that the Jesus myth is real because the Bible says it is and the Bible is always right. If we can find a place where the Bible is wrong (and it's not hard to find such a place), you've destroyed the idea that the Bible is always right. I suppose you can still be a believer even if the Bible isn't perfect, but you lose that specific defense of your faith.
