The supernatural miracle stories in Daniel are another huge problem. Believers cannot assert the reality of magic for one incident, such as the three men who survived inside a blazing furnace, according to Daniel, without asserting the reality of all stories of magic. The Bible then becomes simply a companion book to The Iliad, The Odyssey, Gilgamesh,The Enuma Elish, The Book of the Coming Forth by Day, The Popul Vuh, The Eddas, The Thousand and One Tales From the Arabian Nights, etc. Christian fundamentalists have never offered any support for their claims, other than to say they believe them because they believe them, but the same argument comes from all other religions in support of their magic stories. Devout ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Aztecs, etc. were just as certain of the existence of their gods and miracles as any Christian fundamentalist is certain of the Bible today.
Belief alone can never be proof.
This type of sectarianism is intellectually corrupt. The obvious fact is that defenders of one set of miracle traditions or one set of canonical books are merely repeating what they were taught as children and have never been able to escape, even when the evidence is against those teachings or when they encounter an alternate set of traditions. The book of Daniel has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. The lions just severed Daniel's jugular vein, and he has bled to death. Scholars can piece together part of the origin of Daniel.
