OK Christians. your chance. Convince me of God.

Yes but as far as I understand, neither the Aeneid or Iliad explicitly claim to be historical fact. Where as books like the gospel of Luke does.

I don't think either do. But does it matter? Just because a book claims that it says what happened doesn't mean it really happened.

Also again, I am not aware of a great deal of editing having been made to the original manuscripts of the Bible, but changes made to translations. But even with translations can't they be examined in light of the probable agenda behind the alterations to determine what can be trusted and what can't?

That's called cherrypicking.
