I am uncertain about the Hebrew Bible. Although I will add, in Christianity I think humans are not supposed to take the stories or as I like to call them myths, literally. To me the myths may or may not have happened either way, that is not my concern. What does concern me is to learn from past mistakes of others depicted within the myths and model my own behavior after those who do well.
Faith makes the stories true.
On the other hand scepticism make them false.
