Can You Technically Disprove the God of the Bible?

Texts, that contain metaphor, parable, myth, along with this 'truth' you say it contains, with no method to discern the difference. For every verse that one Christian claims is parable, other Christians will claim it is literal.

He does this in ancient languages, that he should know would die out and be open to broad interpretation, which only server to muddle his message further. Texts that were also open to edits, additions, copy errors, mistranslated, etc and not even written down for decades or longer. Not to mention internal and external contradictions. 

Couldn't a god come up with a much better method to transmit his message in order to assure it is communicated with 100% confidence that it is being interpreted correctly and is in the original form?

He used men to write the bible and it was written the way people would write in those days.  I guess that's the way he wanted to do it.  I think he wanted us to do some work, and also to rely on his guidance.
