Yank, you have the attributes of God right - His power and knowledge are unlimited. And we, as men, are anything but.

However, the only way that God could communicate any of this is through humankind. He voluntarily (for no one can make Him do anything) chose to communicate through prophets and finally through Jesus Himself, to get through to us. And without a record of this communication, we'd still be "in the dark." The Bible is that record -given and preserved to and by His chosen people in this world.

We assume, and it has been confirmed more times than not, that the record is accurate. But when we trust God to be right, we leave the consequences of that up to Him.
