The Bible is the inspired word of the judeo-christian God (or so we were told). If it was merely a "collection of historical documents and writings written by various individuals across the world during those time periods," then there would have been no need of it at all. Only because it was inspired by "God" was why it was known as the Holy Bible.
Modernist Christianity is full of reductionism and "God" has become the warm and fuzzy "feel good" force for its modern believers. Once again, this is harly surprising at all as the religion is modifying itself and presenting a presentable image to fit in with the modern challenges it faces.
I can be glad I got to deal with the knife's edge of the truer form of the religion and see it for what it is. Here's an article that was written back in August specifically addressing people who follow such reductionist wrong versions of Christianity:

It's spot on its first few paragraphs. However, since it was written by a theologist, it is extremely biased.

He could have done many things. I could paint my car Black, White, or Pink. I could make toast or waffles. There is some line people have to accept that they simply do not know the answers things - and on some level an explanation may be beyond the comprehension of the human mind; everything we speak of, discuss, revolves around some physical element, or mechanics that is explained by some other physical element or mechanics. There are some things we just cannot answer, because it is beyond the intelligence of the capacity of the mind.

This is an "argument from the gaps" where anything unknown to us yet, the gaps, is filled with a god of anyone's choosing.

You can only know God by seeking him out yourself, and finding the truth.

If they allowed me to do that when I was 8 years old (and I was on the right track to find "god" then), I would have found a "earth nature goddess" to worship and base my life around or probably ended up as a godless jungle dweller (I say this with a positive notion). We would have all found different gods or no gods to worship if we had been let alone. While, that begins to sound irrational to me, it is the perfect explanation of the origins of wide varieties of the religions in our history.
