Divine Scripture is a phrase I will use to describe the belief that religious texts, and by extension Religion itself, is handed down from God or a messenger from God.
As you all will know, there exists many arguments against the existence of a God. My argument is thus; for these arguments to exist, there must be some kind of observable error in the religious texts. This begs a question. Most, if not all, religions believe in an infallible God, incapable of making mistakes. Also, most, if not all, religions believe that the text from which they worship is handed down from God. If these things are true, why are there perceptible errors in religion?
This, in my eyes, is a valid argument for religion being an entirely human creation, developed in the absence of any God to explain phenomena that knowledge at the time could not.
