Well, we have made progress to a point, that an atheist has admitted
that the Biblical account of the construction of Hezekiah's tunnel is
true.  First of all, not all fiction books describe the construction
of something that can be observed.
But your premise is wrong.  Just because you can find a fiction book
that describes something that can be seen does not prove that all
books that describe something that can be seen are fiction.  The
furthest you can go  would be to say that the book that describes
something that can be seen could be fiction or non-fiction, but you
cannot say that you have proven it to be fiction.  So you would have
to find something else in the book that you claim is fiction, not
Hezekiah's tunnel, which has been proven to be non-fiction.  I hope
this will help you in your studies.
