Evidence the bible was written by man?

It's just a basic fact of life (well, my life anyways) that the majority of people either cannot or do not WANT to read between the lines. This and hundreds of other examples of biblical fallacy are glaringly obvious but then we still have otherwise fairly learned people believing in fundamentalized religious interpretations. The best conclusion one can reach is that they do not really want to know the truth. They will proclaim they do, but what they really want is a nicely packaged concept of truth. As children, God and the bible don't sound all that bad, because let's be honest, most kids who grow up in Judeo-Christian homes are shielded from the rougher passages of the Bible (hell so many of those parents even reject disney movies). Upon finding out what the faith is about it often doesn't jive with the God of love they were taught and so it is impossible to not have a crisis of faith as an adult unless you just never ask the harder questions.
