WE are valued for something someone else offers us? That implies that we have no intrinsic worth to God.

Do you know that the names on the Gospel books aren't the names of the authors? The authors are anonymous, or at least unknown.

Their pastors have a vested interest in keeping them in the dark. Some sects reject biblical scholarship entirely on the grounds that it's a danger to faith, and the Bible is flawless because it's the word of God (no matter how many flaws you can find).
So the Bible isn't an eyewitness acount of the Bible yet scienctist are still willing to believe in a big bang that no one was around to observe.
