Many books are interesting and impressive. That doesn't make them divine.
After reading this post, I do wonder if the author has read the entire Bible. I haven't, but the parts that I have read ranged from mediocre to abysmal. The Pentateuch has some of the worst verses I have ever seen. Leviticus and Deuteronomy are rife with commands to kill people for trivial transgressions. And the Bible never speaks out against slavery. If this book is so holy and impressive, why is it wrong on the easiest moral issues?
Imagine what an actual divine book would look like. It would put every human work to shame. It would contain proof of its divineness by explaining things that 1st-century scribes couldn't possibly know. It would be so densely packed with information on math, physics, biology, and morality that today's greatest minds would study it to create new technologies. It would explain the germ theory of disease, formulas for antibiotics, and treatments for cancer, Alzheimer's, and heart disease. The book would be so incontestably divine that deniers would hold the same social standing as flat-earthers.
It would be so easy for a divine being to write such a book. Instead, we have a bunch of people squabbling over which millennia-old culture dump is authored by the creator of the universe. If that doesn't convince you of these books' human origins, I don't know what will.
