The documents that comprise the Bible were written over a period of 1600 years by 40 different people in occupations spanning the economic scale. They were written in 3 languages and spread out over 3 continents. Yet, they all agree on who God is and what He is like and what He requires from us. How is that possible unless God Himself oversaw the writing process?

Well, it is written that in the beginning was the Word, the Word itself was God. Words are powerful, they can give life or death, make you happy or sad. Words are creation. The question is if you believe there is a Creator of the universe. If you do believe, then how would this Creator communicate w/ humans? I have experienced God giving me words as I write music or literature. It's like I'm a vessel for His words. I believe that is how the bible was written. It is God inspired. When you are inspired to write, a wave just rushes through and it's almost like your hand is moving with some other force when it writes the words. Hope this helps.

The reasons start from early childhood with the brain-washing effect that continual bombardment of God and religion has on the minds of gullible innocent minds, because all religious preachers just pump their one theory (God exists) down our throats.
When the science community makes a discovery or modifies a theory they publish a paper for all to view, speculate on, and debate. Invariably such discoveries open up our simplistic minds and expand our horizons. Examples would be the works of Einstein and Hawking, to name a very small sample.
So why do preachers have to continually pump their one theory (God exists) down our throats. Why do they stand on street corners and hand out leaflets, yell at passers by, gather huge crowds and push unsuspecting victims over in the belief they will be cured of whatever mental or physical ailment invades them, if they just believe in the theory of God.
Why can’t the believers of religious theory just behave in a decent manner, in much the same way as the scientific community does. The answer to all of these questions is simple. They know their theory of God is wrong, and saturation mental and verbal bombardment is the only way they can convince people, and they do it directly or indirectly for money.

Because the scriptures are God's inspired word written down by men of God who followed His lead and not their own.
