Who created god?

wouldn’t the entire Bible be merely a human account of events with no reliable accuracy?

The entire Bible is a human account of the events.

Concluding that that gives it no reliable accuracy is a mistake. The math we use is a human account about how we use numbers. Are you going to conclude that we need to question the accuracy of math?

The thing that separates science from our understandings of God is this.

You can objectively determine what riding a bicycle entails. That's science. But you can't objectively determine what the experience of riding the bicycle is. That is completely subjective and unique to the rider.

Science tries to get us as close to the truth as possible. It is about faxing figures. Trying to describe reality as accurately as possible.

The definition of truth as used in Scripture is a different word. The word truth in the Bible means "fully revealed nothing hidden."

This then is about a person's experience. But not just their experience, but also the why they are experiencing their experience.

For a person who is good at everything, learning how to ride a bicycle is no big deal. But for a person who is afraid of heights, never accomplished anything of significance, and is completely unfamiliar with what balance is, becoming an accomplished bicycle Rider will be a completely different experience than the first guy I mentioned.

"Inspired" for our purposes simply means short of dictated. The Bible doesn't make any claims that it was dictated by God.

And you're right, some Christians claim to believe that the Bible was dictated.

You seemed to imply that humans determine what is good and it’s subjective,

I will outright say it. But let's look at the evidence.

The Bible says that God said "do not murder". Then man comes along and says murder is bad and not murdering is good.

The Bible says that God said, "stay away from the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil or it'll kill ya'". And now humans have a system called morality, which is all about opinions of what is right and what is wrong. And we live in a corrupted world. Sounds like much more than a correlation to me. I think the two are intrinsically linked.

You ever notice how God never said it was good to go to heaven or that it was bad going to hell?

What I've noticed, God says whatever he says, or God is given credit by the authors in the Bible, and then humans take what is said in the Bible and give it just the tiniest little twist and declare things to be good and bad based on what was actually said even though what was actually said didn't include the words good or bad.

My last thought.

Throughout scripture, the authors of the Bible a tribute God's conversation to be centered around commitments and consequences. Christians are asked to make a commitment to living for Christ. Christians are told with the consequences of not living for Christ will be.

I read a whole lot about commitments and consequences. And next to nothing about God declaring what is good and what is bad.
