Just because it is written in a book doesn`t make it true. The majority of the bible was even written contemporaneously to the events that are described in it. So you have a book written on a basis of recollections, with no guarantee that all of those recollections are accurate, by people with an agenda to promote.
Obviously I cannot stand up and state categorically that none of the contents of the bible are true because, as you point out, we weren`t there to witness the events. But to argue that it must be true because it is written in a book is as equally flawed an argument as you were not there to witness the events yourself.
