You shouldn't compare wheels with religion.

Principles of physics can be individually discovered by different people without any of them knowing prior art. Religion, on the other hand, is not discovered but is either invented or relayed. You don't know which category yours fall in as you've acknowledged that you can't verify it.

Anyways, there once was a man whose will created bad blood amongst his children.
It became a he said vs he / she said saga.
Sadly, only that man knows the true version of his will.

I can only verify for myself that the Bible is the WORD of God as I have experienced numerous miracles consistent with the teachings of the bible but I will not share them here as they are of no use to those who have hardened hearts and minds. No separation of the seas nor resurrection of the dead, let alone original texts, will convince those who are not destined to believe.

Matthew 16:13-20
New International Version
Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”

16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter,[a] and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades[b] will not overcome it.
