You have independent reasons to believe magic book is gods word, magic book says an event happened, therefore it happened is a non sequitur, you realize? You might need to lay out those silent premises, and where you heard they were certified.....but that would bring us right back round to that chain of narration, wouldn't it? To a game of telephone called a science.
As to the rest you're a loon. Some people assess magic books for what they tell us about mere reality, and about the people who believed them, and about how that effected their societies. Makes plenty of sense to do. It doesn't matter whether a fairy blessed a warlord. I guess god is learning on the job, or something - or at least you could believe as much. The idea that it's latest fuckup is it's final and best fuckup is...I'd suggest..premature. Your fellow believers are already trying to outdo you in that regard after all, aren't they? Further, that this or that can't be reconciled with theism is an evergreen statement. It applies to reality as a whole as equally as it does to any poorly formed theistic belief within reality. It can't really be a problem if some fact can't be reconciled with theism, though. It can't be reconciled with your version of theism that no god ever split the moon in two, for example - but there it is nevertheless.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
