The original autographs are long disappeared like the Ark of the Covenant.

One can piece together the original using deductive analysis in comparing all extant early manuscripts.

The fact of the matter is that I accept that God has preserved his word through the ages. It is the most well documented book in the history of the earth.

I agree that the Bible is probably the most reliable text in history, thousands of copies as opposed to hundreds for other ancient texts. However, “piecing together” requires a “priecer,” and one must know first which of the books are to be included in the collection.
