If I say that the vast majority of the Bible is the transcribed word of God it's because that's what I believe. There is no proof, there is no rationale. Heck, just look up the Babble Fish argument from Robert Adams Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. It's one of the best metaphysical arguments ever put forward, and it's darned funny to boot!...:D
A wise man once said, "Arguing about religion is like arguing over who has the best imaginary friend."
PS: Now I'm going to have to pick up Hitchhickers guide again and reread it. ;)
