If that is the case, why do different chrisitan sects disagree with what is canon?

The story of Genesis was a rip off from the old Ugartic creation myth,
with all the names of the different gods assimulated to be one god.
If you look at the Ugartic bible, Yahwey was the Son of God (El), and the various other names of God were Yahweys brothers.

But when it comes to epic events, they need more evidence than just writing.
They need artifacts.
The writings might give them clues where to look, and details, but physical evidence is needed to confirm things like wars, and migrations
Or, it could be writings from another culture which alledgely shared the experiance.. such as confirming docuemetns in Egyptian history for the exodus (there are none)

When trying to find out the truth of a story, you don't refer to the story.. that is known as 'circular reasoning'.

However, Genesis bares remarkable similarity to the Ugartic stories.. wheer even the names of the El, and the sons of El are reflected as being several names of God in the Torah.

However, dividing the moon phases into four parts is completely arbitrary.. (and, not that accurate).
It wasn't so much as science as some minor observations, and some arbitrary choices based on those observations.
