I think you may have missed the thrust there. Whatever idea Min might have, it's generally accepted that some "god" could and would have a better one. Lowly human worms that we are. 
So....it's easy to see how we can and have fucked the pooch, and maybe no one actually has any idea of how to fix that.....but is that option truly open to a person contending that magic book is the word of a god? Magic book could have been written in an angelic font and language that all readers would recognize in their own and free of ambiguity or error. God could have "spoken" in such a way that all heard the same words in all languages simulataneously. We obviously can't do anything like that...but why can't a god?
What "god"...the author of creation, lord of the cosmos, that which sees and knows all, decided to do..instead of whatever else it could have done.....write a comic book in gutter-greek.
Now, is that any less ridiculous than sitting in a cloud and tossing thunderbolts down on the proles because you're angry at the orientation of your devotional figurines in the toilet shrine, ala Zues?
