No, that is a fucking fact. You disagree with that fact because for you, the bible is a concept and not an assemblage of words committed to text. The volume of what is claimed to be known about concepts like the Archangel here vastly dwarf any actual information presented in that text.
That means that, like The Divine Comedy, historic literature has become canon for many.
If it isn't in the bible it is accurately classified as christian mythology. Mythology is a really classy way of saying something is historic fiction.
That is the real answer and acknowledging does nothing to reduce the nature of one whose allegiance is to the word of God, his book of Gospels, or his Son. The only person threatened by such a claim is an insecure ideological zealot who needs something to be true irrespective of whether it is or not.
