Then why do you try to take over from your god and convince us that it exists? We should get there by our selves, not by your (nor anyone else's) account.
Hence, the next question:

" 'historical' record's content" = stories in the holy book of your choosing
Do note that, while I am fully aware that you are a christian and your holy book is the bible, the same question may be asked of all other religions and their holy books/"'historical' accounts". If I was talking to a muslim, I could ask him this very same question... heck, even you could ask him... but you probably wouldn't, because he could then deflect the question back at you.
