God can create a universe but apparently can not write or can not even communicate his word to you by telepathy?

According to Muslim belief, it probably was at one point, the word of God, written by the hand of man, but there have been innovations & the Bible as it exists today (again according to my beliefs) is a compilations of several people's interpretations of the original, as the different versions are inconsistent, etc etc.

That's an excellent question, except for the "wtf" which is just rude!
God inspired men to write as His Holy Spirit directed them.
For instance, Moses wrote the creation account, but he obviously wasn't there to witness it, so you can see that it had to have been divine revelation.
Likewise, Isaiah wrote about the coming of the Messiah (Jesus), along with many of the other prophets, such as Daniel, Micah, King David and others. Over 300 prophecies point to the future, and every one of them were fulfilled. Again, this shows God's divine revelation as He inspired them what to write. Sometimes, they didn't even understand it themselves, but they remained faithful and wrote it anyway.
Other books, such as I and II Kings and I & II Chronicles are historical accounts of the nation of Israel and her "sister", Judah.
But, again we see divine revelation because the writers did not gloss over the wickedness of the people. It even talks about King David's adultery with Bathsheba and his subsequent murder of her husband, Uriah, when he discovered that she was pregnant. No body every writes about the bad stuff they do, at least generally speaking, they don't.
Does this help any? And come on - watch the language next time!

The Bible is not the Word of God.
Only those who are ignorant of Christian theology believe that the Bible is the Word of God, or that it is God's revelation of himself to humanity.

Because God is apparently illiterate.
