I used to ask myself that same question Bill. After studying the Bible for a few years I have found that there is NOT one lie or contradiction in it. So far it's perfect. God says in the Bible that it is his word and I see no reason yet to doubt that. So maybe a better question would be. How can anyone PROVE that the Bible is NOT the word of God? No one has been able to successfully do that for thousands of years, but your welcome to try.
God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.
