Because the bible contains things written about that at the time man had no way of knowing,some of these things written about were not confirmed until modern day science.
Like mountains at the bottom of the ocean. Like springs at the bottom of the ocean. Like the water cycle for the earth. Like man was made up of things unseen by the human eye. That man was made up of igredients of the ground.
More and more city's are being discovered through the aid of the bible. I own over thirteen different bibles that came from various manuscripts and they do not contradict each other. They may say things a little different but still carry the same meaning.
The bible has been around much longer and has passed every attack. The only time and reason bibles are revised because of new languages and new words that say things clearer for today's languages.
The bible is in every language known to man and that was a prophecy fulfilled not to mention many others that have been fulfilled.

How often do we hear people “explaining” religious beliefs by stating ”The Bible says so,” as if the Bible fell out of the sky, pre-translated to English by God Himself? It’s not that simple, according to an impressive and clearly-written book that should be required reading for anyone who claims to know “what the Bible says.”
The 2005 bestseller, Misquoting Jesus, was not written by a raving atheist. Rather, it was written by a fellow who had a born-again experience in high school, then went on to attend the ultraconservative Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. Bart Ehrman didnÂ’t stop there, however. He wanted to become an evangelical voice with credentials that would enable him to teach in secular settings. It was for this reason that he continued his education at Wheaton and, eventually, Princeton, picking up the ability to read the New Testament in its original Greek in the process.
As a result of his disciplined study, Ehrman increasingly questioned the fundamentalist approach that the “Bible is the inerrant Word of God. It contains no mistakes.” Through his studies, Ehrman determined that the Bible was not free of mistakes:
We have only error ridden copies, and the vast majority of these are centuries removed from the originals and different from them, evidently, in thousands of ways.
