  • You could argue that he has definitely had his influence on it, but if it were in his hand and completely his doing then I doubt that there would be so many issues with it; such as the fact that there are 2 different stories in Genesis which say different things and cannot both be right in their order of what was created and when it happened.
  • Which god? There are several hundred thousand gods populating human history. There are some wise words in it - also some pretty damn stupid ones. Some accuracies in terms of historical events and places - also some inaccuracies. All up I'd say no, it's not the work of a god - it's the work of humans...
  • The Bible is divinely inspired, which is to say that the Holy Spirit spoke through the prophets in their own minds, so the 'errors' with in it are not God's errors but the misunderstandings of man. One could not expect someone some 5000 years ago to say "And in the beginning there was a piece of supercondensed matter the size of a pin, which exploded and all of the atoms began combining etc etc" or "And from this single cell came forth many cells, in many different variations, competing for life and over the course of millions of years becoming all life on Earth." The Bible is the work of God, but it was NOT divinely dictated. He did not posses the prophets and write through their hands, and that is not the point. A great many books in the Bible are meant to be taken a little bit less then literally- for instance, Job, Chapters of Genesis, Revelations, and some of the Prophets. However, much of the Bible is historically sound. It is a book of religion, meant to inspire and guide people towards living a more holy life. It is not a textbook.
  • GOD IS A SPIRIT WITHIN EACH OF US AND WHEN YOU BELIEVE IN GOD YOUR ACTUALLY BELIEVING IN YOUR SELF. AND SPIRITS DONT. THE BIBLE AS YOU CALL IT IS A FAKE, SPIRITS DONT==ANYTHING. FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS BIBLES WERE WRITTEN AND REWRITTEN AND CHANGED TO READ THAT THE WRITER'S LIFE STYLE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO BELIEVE IN, AND SO YOU BELIEVE. BUT YOUR BELIEVING IN FAKE BOOKS. HAVE A NICE DAY.
