KC,
I think that, while the bible is written by man, it is divinely inspired by God. I've struggled with the question of free will with respect to God's influence over us. You know that little voice in your head - it could just as easily be God as it is you. And you still don't have to listen to it (free will), but it doesn't mean that God won't give you a very persuasive argument. In doing so, doesn't that sort of present a mechanism by which God could make sure that the bible has stayed (relatively) in tact over all the years?
God doesn't make you make choices - but he may make it REALLY difficult for you to ignore him.
