It is generally not considered irrational to consider other ancient texts as containing accurate and factual records of history and yet in comparison (at least as far as I know) they have not been preserved as well as the Bible.
I think the Aeneid might have been more well preserved. It's been edited less throughout history. What does this mean? It means everything that happened in the Aeneid (being warned and guided by the gods, visited by gods, descending to the underworld to see the future) must have happened.
You may think it a bad idea to use a work of fiction such as the Aeneid in this situation, but that is what I consider the Bible to be.

The true beauty of a self-inquiring sentient universe is lost on those who elect to walk the intellectually vacuous path of comfortable paranoid fantasies.
