Oh, did he fax down a book that can genuinely be identified as divinely written rather than scribed by fallible man who delusionally thought he was receiving divine thoughts from some deity?
kinda that exactly what he did.
before the discovery at qumran, our oldest version of the the book of isaha in the OLd testament was 1000 year after christ. which lead many to question the text especially the book of isaiah and the passages concerning the coming of Jesus (along with everything else). then in 1947 the dead sea scrolls were discovered...

in the video they speak of the isaiah scroll they found being 1200 years old, and it was identical minus some grammar and spelling differences to what we had used to make our bibles at that time. To which every book of the OT was also found in those caves, minus ester and the same scrutiny was reported throughout the OT

Lower your intelligence, banish your dignity, eliminate your integrity, breath deeply the gases of the sewer, and proof of god may come inside your head.
or 'theoretical science' come into your head.

Oh? And how do you know that the bible is the word of God, or as you say, vetted by the holy spirit?
How do you vet a map
How do you vet a set of instructions?
You follow the map and it takes you where you want to go then the map is valid.
You follow the instructions and if it build what they claim to build then the instructions are valid.
The same is true with the bible. The bible is vetted by the following of said instruction on how to find/locate the Holy Spirit. I followed those instructions and literally found God. Stood before Him was judged by my current state back then, then in time found a messenger who gave me direction and a path to follow for my future, and now direct contact with the Holy spirit who gives me direction on your questions an as a matter of course opportunities for my business. then according to the bible I reinvest where it says and my responsibilities continue to double, as do God's expectations of me.
