I am willing to take the masochistic route here and debate the notion that the bible is the word of god as simple seems to assume.
My question requires that simple clarify for us how he knows that the bible is the word of God.
I'm not sure why people can't see that the bible contains writings that come from many different sources and in many different ways. There seems to be a difference between a letter a MAN writes to the Romans, vs a MAN writing down what somebody said or some history, vs MEN incorporating legends that existed before the bible was written, vs what OTHER WORLDLY BEINGS who appeared to some prophets told them to write down. So some of the bible is the word of man and some is the word of supernatural beings. It can't be all credited to one source. It's like asking a librarian if the books in the library are fiction or nonfiction.
