Since neither God nor Jesus would expect us to literally and unquestionably place our faith in what men have passed down in remembered stories for thousands of years, I chose not to do so.

God did not write the Bible. Man, with all his faults did. God did the acts. Man tried to remember them, and record them, but did so with all the expected errors we find in everything Man does over thousands of years. But that's OK. God forgave them.

"God did not write the Bible. Man, with all his faults did"

Then how can you trust what they wrote about Jesus? How can you even know that He existed and was not some myth? He rose from the dead, walked on water, healed blind men, and turned water into wine. Things reason and science say are impossible.

Somehow these got written down real well. The others didn't.

Where does anyone get the idea that nobody wrote anything down starting from the time of Adam and Eve? Why is it assumed that the first humans created were dumb caveman-hicks by comparison to those of us who live today?

Your view about who wrote the Bible is itself based on a worldview that excludes the possibility of God revealing Himself to man in written word form to begin with. Why should anyone accept your worldview? It is merely your own biased opinion.
