The answer to both is yes. It's the only book that has been around for as long as it has. Even with the persecution, and the past people burning Bibles, and trying to rid the world of it. And yet, it has survived for thousands of years. But, that's all coincidence right!?
Nothing has disproved the Bible. Archeology only ends up supporting the Bible. Coincidence again, right!?

"Does the Bible exist?"
Never looked around a book store...have you?
"Is it true?"
It is truth. Whether it's true or not is something you'd have to ask each individual. A lot of different answers to that question and many more different interpretations on what "true" means.

Yeah the bible exists, just go down to any store and buy one. It will be there. So it exists.
Whether or not it is true is left up to how you want to read it. Some read it as a collection of stories to inspire them, some read it as literal truth.
The only thing true, is the people writing thought it was important enough to write.

The bible is a book, yes it exists. You can hold it in your hand just like any other book.
It is NOT true. Only some of the names and locations in the bible are true. But Harry Potter mentions London, so does that make everything in the Harry Potter books true? Of course not.

How do we know that the Bible we have today is even close to the original? Haven't copiers down through the centuries inserted and deleted and embellished the documents so that the original message of the Bible has been obscured? These questions are frequently asked to discredit the sources of information from which the Christian faith has come to us. ..........

Yes the bible exists. Lets see, is it true? I my honest opinion no. I say opinion because if I said it was definitely 100% false some holy roller might cuss me out.

It does exist, as I am sure you are aware. Is it true? That is for you to discover.
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Physically the bible exists. Scientifically, archaeologically, and historically its credible.
Personally, I believe its true, because its principals and teachings have worked for me in my life. What you believe is up to you.

The Bible certainly exists, but any relation between it and truth is purely coincidental: it has hundreds of errors. One of these is visible to anyone with a shovel and the ability to count: the annual layers of the Antarctic ice pack go back hundreds of thousands of years. (No flood.) For much more, see:
