If there is "something" that created the entire vast universe and everything in it, I'd be pretty arrogant and delusional (as a microscopic piss ant living on only one of billions of worlds) to sit here and proclaim I comprehend everything about it.
Those 50 or so (probably many more than that) dudes who composed the bible over the course of about 1,500 years wrote a wonderful work of fiction that includes some nice life lessons and words of comfort.
Along with some megalomania, homophobia, misogyny, jealousy, murder, genocide, filicide, greed, and a whole host of other nasty stuff.
