I would first ask what on Earth that even means, and what criteria one would use to distinguish a book which is "divinely inspired" from one which isn't. If they can't provide such a criteria, they are talking garbage.

It's not up to me to disprove people's claims. It's up to them to back up their positive claims. If they say it's "divinely inspired", they need to say what that means, then provide evidence. And it must be a falsifiable proposition, or else it is useless. See my video below.

Also, why should I care? Even if God co-authored it, so what? It's still a bunch of stupid stories of no relevance to me.
