I don't see that written anywhere in the books themselves, which means that some external person just made it up at some point. I don't think the authors of all those different books were making that claim. I think they were just transcribing some stories passed around orally that were used to entertain ... much like the Odyssey. Or they were writing down rumours. But there's nothing about it that human beings of that era couldn't invent. Now if the stories had talked about bacteria, the planet Neptune or some other things that nobody could know about until centuries later, THEN you'd have at least some kind of argument.

You're not thinking rationally. The tools science brings us today, the level of education we are generally exposed to, and the amount of knowledge we know today makes the content of old religious texts seem silly. Consider that back in those days it was not known that you had to PROVE something in order to make a case that it's true, nor did they have rigorous methods of proving things. They based nearly everything on empirical observations. They could not have known what science has brought us, it is an iterative evolutionary process.

You just made that up. Just because it's not right in the text doesn't mean the author didn't believe that. Consider that if it were inspired by God, if God didn't inspire them to write a disclaimer that this text is divine, the author would not have written it, would they?

the somewhat guy or woman or persons who originated the assumption of "divine revelation" is unknown and is surprisingly much as previous as mankind. the main suitable refutation of this historical superstition is Thomas Paine's The Age of reason. each and all of the worldwide's substantial faiths at present are consistent with scriptures. that's genuine for Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, as properly as many others like Bahaism, Sikhism. no one subculture invented this concept. that's pervasive, and in one form or yet another has regarded considering that writing replaced into first invented. there is no single guy or woman who can answer your question of "Who first invented....?" this is an historical superstition that ought to have died centuries in the past, yet nonetheless exists by way of a lively propaganda marketing campaign via its supporters.

The Bible itself states that it is the "Word of God", beginning in the OT. There are over 75 quotes that proclaim the Bible as "The Law" , "The Truth", and "Holy Scriptures".
I find that people who do not know much about Christianity as well as other religions and do not know much about the Bible are the ones who make claims such as yours.
Religious Studies and Philosophy as well as Logic were my major and minors in college. There is more proof that Jesus existed than not.

Actually it is in there, many of the authors write of being inspired Isaiah, Jeremiah ("the word of the Lord came to him" 1:2), Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Obadiah, Micah, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, and John (in Revelation) to name a few.

Well answer me this, how come when ever science "proves" something the answer raises even more questions. The Bible may not have mention all of that stuff you talk about but the "stories" give people hope, and pass down laws.

That's what makes the Bible a divine inspiration--you have the free-will to choose.

You are entitled to your human opinion. Hope it all stands up when you stand before God on judgement day.
God bless.
