Since God surely knows the hearts and minds of men I do think in his wisdom the account of Marys death was purposely eliminated.....as is little record of Mary in the scripture. But as is usual people in religious circles can take a plank of wood and somehow make it into something more than it is....creating something out of nothing more than in reality it is.

I can agree with this portion of your post, though not all of it.

The fact that all Scripture is inspired by God (2 Tim 3:16), on which we can surely agree, does not mean that only Scripture is inspired by God.

If your position is that an account of what happened to Mary at the end of her earthly life was left out of the Bible for a reason, again we can agree, though I assure you that I am not on this thread claiming to know the reason. :)

However, if you say that an account that Mary was assumed into heaven is not trustworthy because such an account is not in the Bible, this has the same logical status as saying that a list of 66 books in the Bible {Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, ..., 3 John, Jude, Revelation} is not trustworthy because such a list is not in the Bible.

God purposely hid the body of Moses for that very reason you describe. Scripture records it, so it certainly would fit with your notions of Mary and the lack of documentation as to her final disposition.
