I don’t see why that should happen since Christians think the Bible contains (for the time) careful documentation of Jesus’ supernatural birth and resurrection.

We moderns, most of us, do not really know what to do with revelatory narrative. Or midrash. The synoptic gospels contradict each other in a myriad of ways about seemingly the most basic of facts; plenty of adherents are totally fine with this because it is quite clear that there are other rhetorical games afoot than "write down what happened just like a police report" style of historical recording.
