So there’s no actual evidence that God sat down at his desk and wrote the Bible, or recorded it in any way such as we do today like putting it in a memory chip, hard disk, or printing a hard copy?

Doesn’t the evidence show that it is actually a written recollection (by humans) of oral tradition?

Perhaps you think this is cute? No one asserted he wrote it at a desk, and those technologies did not exist 65 years ago, much less 3500, but I trust you know that. You apparently reject the claims of the Bible, which is your prerogative. However, less you founder from lack of knowledge, the Bible does plainly state that:

2 Timothy 3:15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

1 Peter 1:21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

No. Matthew, Mark, John, Peter and Paul wrote first hand accounts. Luke wrote a history based on evidence he gathered, as a legal document for a court defense.

Regarding what Moses recorded we are not sure of his source documents for the material prior to his existence, but it he either he took the direction from God or used first hand recorded accounts from Adam, Noah, Abraham, etc. After all, he did spend a great deal of time with God alone, face to face.
