Many people who were inspired by god. And how do we know that? Because the bible was written at different times and yet nothing in it contradicts itself. Furthermore, lots of predictions have come true. It's hard not to believe it's true.

A group of bishops in the early years of the Church assembled the Bible. The actual books and chapters are credited to various prophets, apostles and disciples. But, the book as a whole was created by an assembly. They wanted to collect the most important Christian writings and histories into a single book that would be enough for any person to have all that they needed to study and understand God's message. They put together the Bible. They did not write it but they made it. Like an editor putting together a book of short stories or essays. There is no one person that wrote the Bible. Although some people say God wrote it this is untrue. The Bible is supposed to contain God's message but most of it is in the words of the people who did the writing. If you accept the notion that Jesus was God in the flesh, then you could say that the words of Jesus were part of what God "wrote." The same would apply to the instances where someone heard the Lord speak to them.
Generally speaking, Christians acknowledge that the exact phrasing was execute by human authors and transscribers, but that all the writing was inspired by God.

God inspired men to write the bible. But does that mean that mankind is the author of the bible? No, God is the author of the bible. All of the text that we read in the bible are God-inspired. That is why church elders should urge you to have a good habit of reading the bible because it is the way to know God better. The bible is the way for God to teach you.
Think about this: There are no biblical principles that clash or contradict one another. Why? Because all of them came from one author - God. Different people have different perspectives and principles. If the bible was a work of Man, all of us Christians will be bombarded with different theologies. How then, can we see ourselves as belonging to one body that is Christ.
"Both Old and New Testament writers claim to write the very words of God. The bible is filled with expressions such as, 'God said', 'the Lord spoke saying', 'the Lord commanded', 'the Word of the Lord came unto me...' Such phrases appear more than 3800 times.
Paul, writer of more than half the New Testament, attributed that his writings were from God. "...the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord" (1 Corinthians 14:37)
Satan had bitterly and subtly fought God's Word. Why? Because God works through the power of His spoken Word!
How were the worlds created? By the Word of God. (Hebrews 11:3)"

The Bible says,
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God.
" 2 Timothy 3:16."Prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" 2 Peter 1:21. "The scripture cannot be broken." John 10:35.

nobody realy "wrote" the bible. It was a bunch of old guys in a church that put together the bible using "some" of the teachings and sayings of Jesus' deciples.

Oh, there is so much to learn about when you ask a question like this. Yahoo!Answers can never give you all that you need to know. Go to the library and ask for books on biblical history. This is the perfect book to start with: The title says it all!
