Because some dude(s) wrote it.

If Xenu doesn't exist, then why does Dianetics?

This implies that a) the Bible was written by God (it was not; it was written by others with divine inspiration), and b) that "God" does not exist, which is neither possible to prove or disprove and remains an impossible answer outside of a miracle or a lightning bolt to the face.

How is the Bible any different?

The Bible was made to fool people into worshipping a place that "encouraged" you to "donate" for thinking you were saved.

...because it was written by man.

Besides, just because sonething cannot be proven without a shadow of a doubt, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

If the Islamic god doesn't exist, why does Koran?
If the Hinduistic gods don't exist, why do Vedas?
If the Shintoistic god doesn't exist, why does Guru Granth Sahib?

I could go on and on. Answer my questions first, OP.

The Bible was written as a history of Adam's descendants and the events leading up to Jesus. Then from his birth on, it was written for his followers and to those that proclaimed him Lord and Christ. It exists because it was written by man, end of story. But I believe it was written by the leading of the Holy Spirit. God is unproven but can not be disproved.

Yelling loudly and waving your arms? Yeah, that sounds like a charismatic worship service to me

Just because something is written in a book doesn't mean it exists. The Lord of the Rings was written. Do hobbits, elves, Mordor, and the One Ring actually exist because of it?

Even the ancient people needed science-fiction books.
