| Jul 12, 2011 at 18:59 | comment | added | Chad | Could a god not just create the book, without having written it? You assume limitations that do not exist in the question. | |

In which case, the god would have some physical or human qualities. Perhaps this being is an archetype like Jesus. In which case does this disqualify the author as solely a god since it has the human qualities of linear thought, language, and motor skills? | |
