I mean if they did than pandavs and karna were the son of gods. Gandhari did gave birth to 100 sons is that even possible in real world? 🤔 karna had divya kawach. They all had divya weapons, if it is possible than we have to agree Gods did exist or this all actually happen but every time it got edited they added new imaginary point to make story even more entraining like how karna and Pandav's are god's sons, karna was unsung hero who can't be killed without cheating so added divya kawach and made Indra to trade it ( first made him denote which make him even more mahan. but at the end give him another divya weapon) if we dont believe in God than MB is more like fantasy story with god divine powers.
Did I make sense?😕
Well it could very well be that people added stuffs as the time progressed in the original story. A the story becomes older, the divinity angle starts increasing. It's not only for our religion
In Abrahamic religion if you see, despite Christ being the son of God (as per Christianity) and Muhhamad being the last messenger of God for whom the whole universe was built in the first place, God didn't bother to come to earth and meet them, however He had all time to come down to the earth n meet Moses. To make divine announcements for Noah. Despite the Jews having crucified Jesus, God didn't intervene directly but for Abraham's sister/wife, He intervened.
Even if you see our texts, there is more divine intervention in Vedas than there is in Ramayana and in Mahabharata it's further less
Plus a major thing we often miss is in India there were a few major practices and discoveries which were not cascaded to normal people. Islamic Invaders have destroyed our libraries so we don't even know what knowledge the books there stored.
Niyog as a practice could have been some early form of artificial insemination as I had earlier mentioned or maybe it was a normal birth process, and kids were called children of God's only because the story was being narrated to their biological greatgrand father's
Gandhari's 100 children could simply have been some early form of tissue culture or else might be as someone mentioned in the forum that Gandhaari wasn't one but many. Gandhari refers to princess of Gandhar so maybe there were many Gandharis multiple princess would have been married to Dhritrashtra but later as the story transversed from one generation to other orally all of them slowly became one and then to justify 100 kids the story of long pregnancy and kid in pot was started
The divine weapons were mass destruction weapons as per the standards of that time
As the stories cascade through word of mouth there are always some additions and subtractions, Mahabharata too would have underwent it, and maybe some person bias would have crept in
I think the story is definitely true but not everything that we know is true, things might have been added upto it and some technologies which they couldn't cascade became miracles
. Now there are various versions of MB Vyasa may not have authored them but the characters remain same why would anyone distort history to that extent 
There's bheel bharata the less I speak about it is good
In Javanese version Draupadi is only Mrs Yudhi, that'll contradict many points in Vyasa's MB, Bheem drinks Dushy's blood like a coke and Draupadi wears his liver like an ornament
The best best kaju fangurling moment occurs to me in this version where it's Arjuna who goes to Karna to persuade him to join pandavas
The worst of it all is not even KD infamous angle but Shakuni kunti angle
not to mention here too there's too much contradictions in NE and SE.
