I will answer that for you. How do we know that we are right? Because my God created the heavens, the earth, and everything in it in a matter of 6 days. As humans, we have spent our entire existance studying it, and that just produces more questions than answers.

People spend their entire lives studying the Talmud and the Koran (among others) and they produce endless questions as well. That's not an argument for canonization of a specific set of books.

God is well beyond our simple human brains. I think He can put a collection of books together and ensure they maintain their integrity throughout history. Never know the mind of God, but I think we have what He wants us to have. I will put my faith in Him.

So you know that these particular 27 books are authentic because God is capable of doing such a thing? Is that your argument? Do you feel a burning in the bosom when you read them?

Actually yes, I do. But it is not in my bosom, it is in my heart.
