According to Wikipedia;

"The Massacre of the Innocents is an episode of infanticide by Herod the Great that appears in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 2:16-18). It is not mentioned in the other gospels, nor does it figure in the early apocrypha, with the exception of the Protoevangelium of James 22.[1] Matthewrelates that King Herod ordered the execution of all young male children in the village of Bethlehem, so as to avoid the loss of his throne to a newborn "King of the Jews" whose birth had been announced to him by the Magi. Most modern biographers of Herod do not regard the massacre as an actual historical event.[2] Many scholars portray this and other nativity stories as creative hagiography rather than history. see related link below

How does the Bible disprove the attacks by its enemies?

A:As long as the enemies of the Bible accept the truth of the Bible, it is relatively easy to turn back attacks on the Bible simply by quoting chapter and verse to prove the Bible correct. Some critics, although not necessarily enemies of the Bible, describe this as circular reasoning, because it relies on the Bible to be correct, in order to prove it to be correct. One response to this is to take biblical passages that are confirmed by non-biblical sources, and use this evidence to prove the entire Bible correct and wholly inerrant. Unfortunately, some critics persist and say that no one ever claimed the Bible is never historically correct, just that it is not always so and furthermore that there is no evidence that it is spiritually correct. Although we can never actually prove the Bible to be spiritually correct, we can seek to divert these attacks by pointing to prophecies in the Bible. If prophecies can be shown to be true, then the Bible must have been inspired by God. The rub is that believers accept the prophecies to be true, but time and again sceptics point to reasons to doubt the very fact of those prophecies.In the end, we can use the Bible and faith to disprove biblical criticism in our own minds, but we can never really disprove these attacks in the minds of a well-informed critic.
