How do we know it isn't all just mythology? Because teh same things those men observed and wrote about in the Bible are evident in present time, there for us to observe and learn about.
One could say the same thing about Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Chinese or any other mythology. Cultural trappings change, technology advances but humans remain humans with similar experiences and challenges in life. There's no need to see a divine hand in it, unless you wish to say that God's influence is in every story we tell. If that is the case, we're back to "just another book" .
