No events? Are you denying Jesus was crucified? I know there must be SOME historical events you believe to be true....

Archeology has proven many places in the Bible do exist but I don't think it's confirmed any actual events, and it certainly hasn't proven that god exists.

Yes there are many events in the bible that have a grain of historical truth to them. But proving an event from the bible happened and claiming it happened as detailed in the bible are 2 completely different things.

The Sun rising and setting. Those are true historical events. Excluding Genesis where light exists before the Sun. That's just silly.

Sure, the destruction of the temple is an example.
Many of the Greek myths are also filled with true historical facts.
EDIT: Outside of the Bible, there really is no evidence that Jesus was ever crucified. Who knows, it may have happened, it may not have.

Up to a point. Some places and some of the people the bible refers to are true enough. The places in Tom Sawyer were real as well. Doesn't mean Tom or Huck Finn were.

"no one will deny or dispute the potential of the Almighty to make this sort of verbal replace if he pleases. yet admitting, for the sake of a case, that some thing has been revealed to a definite guy or woman, and not revealed to the different guy or woman, it extremely is revelation to that guy or woman purely. while he tells it to a 2nd guy or woman, a 2nd to a 0.33, a 0.33 to a fourth, etc, it ceases to be a revelation to all those persons. it extremely is revelation to the 1st guy or woman purely, and rumour to the different, and, subsequently, they don't look to be obliged to have self assurance it. "it extremely is a contradiction in words and innovations to call something a revelation that is composed of us at 2nd hand, the two verbally or in writing. Revelation is inevitably limited to the 1st verbal replace. After this, it extremely is in simple terms an account of a few thing which that guy or woman says became right into a revelation made to him; or perhaps with the incontrovertible fact that he would discover himself obliged to have self assurance it, it can't be incumbent on me to have self assurance it interior an analogous way, for it became into not a revelation made to me, and that i've got purely his be conscious for it that it became into made to him." ~Thomas Paine (a founding father of the U.S.) interior the Age of reason -Ex-fundie-xian; agnostic atheist

I only know about the main ones and these are fabrications and distortions.
Penn & Teller have made a good video on this very subject. It's called the bible is BS and I would recommend it.

One of the problems with mythologies is that they often take real events and re-right to include their spin.

I suspect Paul actually had the epileptic seizure he describes.
