       Or just take Mormonism. Again, the belief of one person (and eventually two), who lead a bunch of people out west in this country on a religious expedition. The man, Joseph Smith, claimed to hear from God through an angel, and he wrote down supposedly what the tablets he supposedly found said. And interestingly enough, the tablets, which the angel said where from 400 A.D., supposedly had King James Bible verses on them (the King James Bible was translated between 1604 and 1611 folks). But that’s ok. Maybe the angel just was able to make this happen. Seriously folks. In contrast, the Christian’s Bible, which comprises of both the Old and New Testaments, was written by over 40 different authors. That is, over 40 men wrote down all the different books and letters. And, we have over 5,300 manuscripts of the New Testament today, which were written in the original Greek language (see Simmons, p. 58, 2013).
