why do many people consider the bible to be the infallible word of god?

is it not just ok to accept it as a great compilation of inspirational stories, a guidebook on how to treat others, and a reference to spiritual matters. accept it for what it is. because, unfortunately, it is passed through the hands of many men, through thousands of years. and Who Knows what could have happened. so why do yall think its so infallible?

peace
