Is the Bible the Word of God ? Part I

 Raja Petra or Pete in his Sermon of the Day, 'Is the Bible the Word of God'
makes the assertion that the Bible cannot be the 'Word of God', unless the
maker can be established. Hence, quoting Bible verses or pointing to the
historical figure of the Messiah cannot be used as evidence of it's authenticity

 So, the issue here is, who wrote the Bible? And unless the ‘maker’ can 
be established then the Bible cannot be accepted as evidence. And if the 
Bible cannot be accepted as evidence then you cannot use it to argue 
your case. And if the Bible cannot be used to argue your case how do 
you debate what the Bible says? You need other non-Biblical evidence 
to argue your case since the Bible is not relevant to this debate.

 Again, it is important to determine what the actual benchmark, Pete is
seeking, if any. As i have mentioned many times before. I cannot prove the
Supernatural. Certainly, i've experienced it and have given examples of one's,
if you go through my blog articles.

Pete has made many assertions, that on, face value, presents itself as an
absolute fact. Christianity is a myth, and thus proven via unreliable
documentation, and is mostly based on cultural myths that had Jewish origins.
My intention, is not to convince Pete otherwise. I simply want to point out a
logical flow, really, intended for seekers or followers of Yeshua, to know,
that there are very valid reasons of who he is.

As such, he has chosen a court of law (lawfare ?), or so it seems i.e. an
evidence based presentation.  Often, when one wants to control a process.
Eg. making widgets of a certain quality. Engineers will use a statistical
analysis known as Six Sigma. In order to build specified widgets with the
lowest numbers of defects (< 3.5 dpmo). The statistical analysis is usually
made once the criteria has been determine. As follows, define a problem,
measure it, analyze it, improve it, after which, establish controls.  In order
to define the problem.  One must come up with a Hypothesis. The Null
Hypothesis from what i can gather is

There is no 'maker' of the universe, thus there is no Messiah God whom
the Christians claim, to have, presented himself


Thus my alternative hyphothesis would be:

There is a maker of the universe,  one referred to as 
YHWH (Yod, Heh Wav, Heh), who revealed himself to human kind 
in flesh as, Yeshua Ben Yusof of Bethlehem Eprathath, who began his 
ministry around  ~ 30 AD
