the simple question I asked was "Do you believe that what is written in your hebrew bible (Tanakh), is historically accurate"
The simple answer to your question is that the Hebrew Bible is neither a textbook on the chronology of Jewish history nor is it a textbook on science. The Hebrew Bible is a book that defines the "Jewish way of life" and is also an account of the relationship between G-d and Israel. Nevertheless, the Hebrew Bible contains many historically accurate accounts, as well as many accurate descriptions (and/or effects of) scientific phenomena. It is the difficult job of the scholars to figure it all out with the help of tangible evidence (such as archaeological of historical records).
