In any event, I wouldn't find that as striking evidence since the old testament was written before Jesus was born, and the new testament was written a couple centuries after his death, by several people, with numerous contradictions. So a bit more generally, if you're looking for discrepancies or factual inaccuracies in the Bible as a source for concern, those are readily available. Here for instance:

Or historically with the flood, ark, or age of the earth.

You wouldn't consider it striking evidence? Then I won't waste my time going through them.

But I will say this; they started recording the New Testament 15 years after Jesus' death, burial and resurrection, and finished (according to history) by 69 AD at the latest - 7 years after the events in Acts were finished. Historically speaking, that is an insignificant amount of time. Because of this, the manuscripts were able to be copied for all the churches and verified by the Apostles before the end of the Apostles' lives. This is now a consensus among scholars. Your argument is decades old
