Established facts in the Bible? Got me. Well, there certainly are references to real-world cities and rivers and kings and what not, as believers are fond of pointing out... but, we have to reply to them, so? That's exactly what we'd expect of a book written by real-world people. How does mention of a real city by its contemporary writers make a separate talking-snake fable a historical event?
That's a question for the Bible believers – who will neglect to ponder how mention of historical people and places in countless other religions' texts prove the "truth" of those texts!
