I am shocked that you even used this argument lol. So I will tell you why I am shocked. What makes you think that a biblical scholars opinions are as authoritative as that of a scientists? Not to mention that the so called accurate history you talk about is not so accurate at all. There are many holes in Christian history that have yet to be reconciled outside of the scriptures by historians. Outside of the N.T. Jesus is practically non existent and no historian of his time even bothered to write about him so that says alot about his importance.
Oh I almost forgot one last thing about your question, biblical scholars are biased and their goal is to prove the truthfulness and accuracy of the bible which to date they have failed miserably at that endeavor. But the start from the bible and try to make everything else fit nice and neatly but in reality it doesn't fit so neatly at all.
If you look at my post, I did not make an argument. I asked a question.
If it is your position that Biblical scholars are biased, do you also think that those scholars that take a position opposite to the Bible are not?
