When you use scientific methods to check out ancient Israel and the Bible, you will find that the Bible is records, not fantasy. Written records by those who were there are stronger than scientific interpretations of present make-believe-evidence type of evidence.
The records that Moses wrote about 3500 years ago are believed by millions, maybe well over a billion. There is power in that. Many people have heard of Aristotle and Plato. But their writings can't compare in strength to those of Moses... who wrote under God's direction, and did miracles under God's direction.
And funny how you pick one magic book from history to follow. Why not greek religion? Why not Hindu? Why not Gilgamesh, Quran or Kalevala? Why not apocryphal texts from the bible? Why not ramblings of Charles Manson? Just random pages chosen by few ancient religious leaders. Funny how you don't see those as "evil elite". Even with their violent history and what they done with children. If you defend those actions don't claim to be any better then the monsters doing those acts.
The scientific method shows only what exists. This means that most of science theory will remain in 'theory' status, because there are too many variables that could make these theories incomplete or completely wrong. See the science in https://tasc-creationscience.org/other/plaisted/www.cs.unc.edu/_plaisted/ce/index-2.html. Denying the science is like formulating your own religion.
Scientific studies about the OT show that it has barely changed since 250 BC (Dead Sea Scrolls), and that the whole Bible was completed within 100 years AD and has not changed since then. There is nothing unscientific about that. It's science showing how dedicated the people of Ancient Israel were to keeping their records accurate.
In addition, there are in the range of 25,000 copies or partial copies of the NT dated to before 350 AD. You can barely find 5 copies of Plato, and less than a thousand of Aristotle. When you get a man like Jesus-God doing miracles, and when you have the Holy spirit backing His believers, science fails without Him.
