Default For Christians, how do you account for Zoroastrianism when beliefs were similar befor

There has to be a logical explanation if the bible is 100% accurate, then why is it similar to Zoroastrianism before it was written?

It is a lot more than that. They have taken many things from other local and modern religions (virgin birth, December 25Th, the star guiding the disciples, etc)

true that Zoroaster spoke of such things as "... the coming of a savior and the resurrection of the body," etc. (Ibid., 44). But he may have borrowed these ideas from the Jewish captives in Babylon. Indeed, it appears that all of these ideas can be found in the Jewish Scriptures PRIOR to the Babylonian Captivity. If any borrowing was done, it was likely Zoroastrianism borrowing from Judaism/Christianity.

Why do we have the three little pigs, and Korea has the Three Bears song?

Its coincidence.

Christians don't account for things; they can only believe.
