The bible is a collection of sources, there is more than one source there. It is the definitive collection because many of the other accounts were destroyed...

Also bear in mind, that not too many people were literate in that place and time, so people to write the stories up would have been few and far between and may well have had their own agendas.

This is also true of the old testament, someone at some point decided which stories would be in it and which wouldnt. So stories like the book of Judith just werent included, although those still exist.

Personally, whilst Jesus may not have been the son of God (I dont believe that...), he probably existed as a person. I mean why not.

Now you PROVE he didnt exist. The fact is, there is no proof either way because many of these stories are so metaphorical, garbled and messed up over the course of time as to be basically fictional anyway...
