Is the Bible (NT) nothing more than an ancient screenplay ? (prophecies, Israel)

At the risk of being labelled the anti-christ, I want to explore another related topic. Although if I was the anti-christ, I would probably not limit myself to a fairly obscure forum website, (everyone uses social media these days) anyway...
It seems to me that the Bible could be an ancient screenplay with all the associated dialogues, scene changes, plots and twists in it. I can imagine a bunch of screenwriters all sitting around in a room and making up the story outline, drawing up the storyboard, and then working out the characters and their dialogues. If it is one, then it has certainly been a hot series.
Bearing in mind that the Bible (NT) was written long after the events which are described, what other explanation than the above could there be?

Cecil B DeMille didn't even believe it had to be an ancient screen play!

The Bible is a lot of things, but it's not a screenplay.
Written by dozens of authors over thousands of years, so no one sitting in a room planning it out in advance.
Written before the invention of photography, much less motion pictures.
Full of mutually exclusive contradictions.
It's more like a collection of god fan-fiction through the ages.
The OT is reminiscent of screenplays, though I wouldn't go that far. The NT is fairly dry and non-dramatic in comparison. Whatever the case, the opinions of the two 'unyoked' parts put together are of every shade of opinion and belief.
Old Testament 40 authors and 66 books over 1,500 years
New Testament 15 authors, 27 books in a 50 year period
Both old and new testaments have 63,700 cross references, 1,817 prophecies which have been casted, of which most have come true to the letter, without zero errors.
To me it's the evolution of organized religion around a belief in a higher entity that put us here.
It's not limited to the Bible though.
The 12 Titans
The 12 Gods of Olympus
The 12 Apostles
The 12 tribes of Israel
Hinduism is full of 12's
Zoroastrians and the 12 zodiacs
And a few of the various religions have the same stories of heroism, floods, etc all the while being "different".
I think it's fascinating to study.
