How do you discern what is the correct scripture (or interpretation)? Wouldn't you be embarrassed to find some obscure tribe in Africa actually has it right and all these others including Christianity has missed the mark.

Most scripture has plain meaning and obvious interpretation - it's not rocket science. The bible clearly says Jesus Christ is the creator. It's not ambiguous, unless you are Clintonesque in your confusion over the meaning of "is".

That is the answer I always get.

What if the book is wrong? Is it right just because "it" says it's right?

So again I would be curious how you discern that it is correct as apposed to say; Norse mythology?

That is, of course, why there is only one church, why there is no such thing as Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism, Protestant sects, Mormonism, Adventism, Islam; the Inquisition never happened, Galileo published in peace, and so forth.
