Well, Little Buddy, now that you've gotten everyone riled up, let's get back to the actual topic. You authored this thread to make the contention that, since Herod the Great and Pontius Pilate were real people, and the Bible mentions them, the Bible is therefore factual.
How can you come to that conclusion? Modern authors like Stephen King and Dean Koontz mention real places and real people and real events in their books all the time. That doesn't make the stories in those books "true". How can you believe it is any different for the Bible? If you want to prove (or show evidence to support the contention) that the Bible is true, you will have to begin with proving that god(s) and magic are real.
Do you have any of that? You know... real evidence?
