Agreed, the argument I offered is invalid, but in what way does it differ from your own? Why cant I leverage transposition and negate both of the parts in that conditional (which is what I did to your argument) without losing validity?
IOW, if I transpose them and the argument loses its validity wouldn't that be an example of other factors which were not accounted for in the original assessment of the relationship of those two parts? If I accepted that the book was not from god, and that contradictions would be found, in addition to accepting that no contradictions were found, I would still not be compelled to accept that the book was from god, because those other factors had been omitted (and you had not stated that there were no other factors which could account for this-that isnt something that's been accepted).
