Well, we are in agreement here:

More the trust that God preserved the scriptures for all through some very fallible people.

Thank God for the fallible people of His Church that copied, transmitted, preserved the scriptures for us through many extremely violent and turbulent times. It's amazing; definitely a God thing.

A nuance perhaps but I would say “thank God that in spite of the fallible people He preserved the scriptures”. I give no credit to the people at all nor to any earthly organized “church”. I look at history and understand that the people and the church were doing things for ego, power, and other nefarious purposes rather than purely spiritual reasons.
