Just because many elements of the bible have basis in fact doesn't mean every word should be interpreted as iron clad truth. There's ample evidence that the biblical flood did occur, the city of Jericho did fall, and that Jesus did indeed walk the earth but there's also ample archaeological evidence suggesting the Trojan War was indeed fought. Should we then interpret the Iliad as gospel truth and start offering sacrifices to the Olympian gods? We know more about the life of Mohammed than we do about the life of Christ, should we then hurry to the mosques?
Substantiating elements of the bible does not effectively establish the veracity of its message. Whether or not Noah built an Ark is irrelevant.
