Human beings wrote the Bible.
Human beings translated the Bible.
Often this was done by hand.
Mistakes were often made.

The point is that God was and is the Creator.

HOW He did it would be far too complicated for Him to explain, even with all the memory or space in the largest Internet server available. How would you do such a thing in a short “Book” ?

“Human beings wrote the Bible.”

I must disagree with you, Kansas58. When we say the Bible is “inspired,” we mean, literally, “God-breathed.” We confess that the Bible in its original language is error free and not the work of man.

As to translation, I do agree, we have translated it into many languages. However, I don’t think there is any assertion of any major error and it has been studied more rigorously than any other document ever. No one who speaks Hebrew, for example, asserts that the creation account is mistranslated.

“The point is that God was and is the Creator.”

I am glad you confess that, but how do you know that, if you think the Bible is an error prone document written by men?

It would seem to me that if one already accepts as factual the New Testament account of the virgin birth or Christ’s resurrection, it’s no problem to accept the Genesis account of creation.
