If the story of how the 10 commandments came about is a fictionalized account, then how do you know where the fiction ends and the factual begins?

Indeed. One might ask the same about Buddha or Confucious. Does it matter if the story is factual as long as it's true?

Moses received the commandments on the mountain from God. What part of that story is certainly true if any part of it is false?
