How many times do we have to tell you;
1. we don't claim the Bible gets everything wrong historically and archeologically.
2. the Bible gets more wrong than it gets right historically and archeologically.
3. the historical and archeological things that the Bible gets right, on their own, offer ZERO evidence that a god exists.
If so, why isn't the historical and archeological things the Iliad and Odyssey gets right evidence for Zeus, Hera, Venus, etc?
You really don't understand what counts as evidence for your god claims. Seriously. You don't.
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.
