Complete rubbish.
The Bible gets some things correct, historically. And it gets many things wrong.
I could list them if you like.
Same with archeology. I could list these too.
By the way. Homer's Iliad and Odyssey get a lot of history and archeology right, too. Heinrich Schliemann used stories in them to find Troy in 1858, which was thought to be pure myth before that.
Does the finding of a real Troy prove that Zeus existed?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
