No. I don't "know very well".

It's an amazing collection of books. There's no reason to believe it's not supernatural if you honestly look at it.

I have wondered this myself. When I used to go to church, a couple of people would get out of their chair and jump around and bend on their knees. I'm sorry, but what are they hearing?? I have heard none of what they have heard. Seems like they were just putting on a show.

They probably were. Not all Christians are like that.

Key word honestly. I have looked at the history of the bible and there is nothing supernatural about it. Many of the authors are either unknown or unproven, but it is certain that god was not one of them.

ultimately I can't make you believe. But you know I have to disagree with you on it. I think there is plenty of evidence for it's supernatural authorship.

If God did not author the Bible, can you explain to us why it's prophecies are all true?

The "prophesies" of Nostradamus just like the buybul are "reverse engineered" to make it fit a current event. Likewise the buybul code cannot predict accurately.

Folk believe what they are taught by their parents.

The Bible is the only Book that has fulfilled prophecies that are accurate, and historical discovery is showing us today the Bible can be believed. None of the other religious Books have this kind of accuracy.
