King James left the translation of the bible, and the selection of texts, to the clergymen who were religious scholars and their intent was to keep the translation "pure". They had several committees set up to do so. Of course, there's intrinsic (often Puritan) bias involved, but the goals was to retain the "word of god" as it were.
I'm atheist; I don't think there's any intrinsic validity to scripture in the first place, but I think that King James' scholars had honest intentions.
