It has been preserved for millennia and stands as the oldest and most proliferated text in the world.
It claims to enable the human race to be informed and prepared to live in harmony with God.
So essentially your answer is, because it’s really old and it makes claims about a god. You honestly think these are good reasons to take it seriously?
The reasons are all within the book. I haven't given you any reason to accept it.
Don't ask others to study it for you.
People have searched harder for gold than wisdom, and yet wisdom is easily accumulated.

I am already aware of what you believe, do you realize that you keep repeating yourself?
What would you like me to say that convinces you that I get what you are saying?

Believers seem to prefer the latter.
Just one example would be nice to qualify what you are trying to preach.

And a follow-up question if I may: Why should anyone believe that it’s true?
It's either true or it isn't, only a personal investigation will show that.
I don't think people "should" believe anything they're not informed about.
