The Bible is the largest set of documents that have survived the past three thousand years. The rest of the evidence is pretty spotty and has been interpreted by perople with an of discrediting the testimony of the Bible. So we have the claim that the story of David and Solomon is an invention. But now we have digs that may be some evidence that it is not. I am not one who believes all that much in the science of history. Too much has returned to dust. If we do not have the dialogues of Aristotle, however much else has simply disappeared? 99% I guess.
