Does any one know the story of how the Bible came to be?

I'd prefer you read the second one, as it has more reasons and answers to some of the questions already asked in this thread. The first link is a good summary though.
Now that is truely the worst reasoning I've ever seen.
if God didn't want it then it wouldn't happen,
but if bad stuff happens it's not necessarily Gods fault?
but the good stuff, well lets all thank god for that, why not thank God for cancer? why not thank god for death disease and accidents, surely God created all of them?
Understand this, as it is pretty tough for me as well. When Adam and Eve first sinned, that brought all of the imperfections into this world and allowed Satan to have free reign over the earth. Imagine what a place without God would be like; a place without a moral foundation, and hope. If God had withheld his goodness from us, then the world would be a whole lot worse but since he does answer prays (and leave some unanswered for the better), and gives us blessings, we consider that good and from him. "God permits adversity, he doesn't promote it." If everything was a walk in the park and there wasn't imperfections in this world, then the whole need of being dependant on a Savior would be void. Honestly, this is how it was intended in the beginning, for us to not have to have a savior but to interact with God without ever knowing sin. We'd already love and rely on him but now its a different story. Does that make sense?
