It stands to reason that you can't say that something was most likely altered, then proceed to draw conclusions because of how it was written.
Unless you draw the conclusion that Scripture, having been altered in virtually every way possible, must automatically negate the possibility that the Bible is the sovereign word of God himself. If you have a book which has been at the mercy of religious leaders of varying viewpoints over the course of centuries, lacks original copies or even copies written in the remote vicinity of time that the books are referring to, was often written by someone other than the alleged author, and has been subject to translations and revisions throughout its lifetime then the Bible has no more divine authority that the Odyssey.
That's not an argument over semantics...
