After I read all three questions, I believe what you really want to ask is that human is not perfect and both you and me will make mistake.  Therefore, same to those who write the bible.  Is that true?

To answer your question, I first need to ask you.  Do you believe that there is a God?

A God who create the Universe.  A God that create the earth and it was so precisely done.  If the axis of the earth is 1 degree more or less, many locations in this planet would suffer from extreme heat and vice versa.

He also creates the right balance of air for us to breath.  If the ratio of Hydrogon Dioxide is more than it is right now... Guess what will happen?

Yes, you are correct that we as a human aren't perfect but with God guidance, everything is possible.  Since he can create the planet, the universe, DNA, among others so precisely, why can't he guide human to write out texts - bible - that is true?

I doubt that anyone in this world would understand the truth if God let you know everything about Him.  The Bible itself only cover a small portion of what God wants you to know.   No matter you understand 100% or 99.9%, it is not the whole picture.  You and I both don't have the knowledge and the brain power to understand the real truth.

The wonderful thing is that no matter how stupid we are, God still loves us and He died for us and gives us eternal life.

If you really want to know the answer, pray to God.  The holy spirit will guide you to understand what you need to know.  Meanwhile, buy some Christian's related textbook, tapes, or CD to enhance your knowledge of the bible.

So how would you answer if I as...

To simply answer your question "Why do you believe in God?"

Because I see how God molds me in everyday of my life.  I was a failure when I was young, I skipped classes and hanged around with friends.  Six years ago, I was lucky enough that God provided me an opportunity to study at college.  But, I didn't cherish the chance God gave me.  I got kick out at last.

At that time, I was so lost...  I can't get a job because I am lack of education.  I don't know what to do.  My parent was so worry about me at that time.  At that time, many people told me to pray and pray...... I tried and tired.... God gave me no response.  I hate God at that time because He ignored me so badly even when I pray 10 times a day.

God tought me a big lesson thru this incident.  He wants me to learn how to concentrate and focus on my works.

To make the long story short, God provides me an opportunity to study at the University.  I received scholarship every years and unexpected research opportunities throughout my undergrad. study.  At last, I received around 12,000 HKD scholarship for my graduate study.

God loves us so much if you believe in Him.  He makes everything possible.
