I realize that there may be several PPs participating in this discussion, but one or more of you seem obsessed with the idea that the Bible is written by men, and therefore fallible. But I would say that this is part of the truth and uniqueness of the Judeo-Christian God -- He himself became a man, walking among us, the human race. That is God reaching out to us, interacting with us, more than we can even comprehend. Yes, the 
[b]Bible was penned by man, but it is the inspired word of God[/b], again reaching out to us in concrete form that we can now see and touch. Do I believe that every comma, word and sentence is literally perfect and in our interpretation, completely without error? No. But the Bible is meant to be taken in its entirety and when you read it that way, you will see the unfolding of your own story -- your creation, your human failings, your craving for an answer and your search for meaning, and God's repeated attempts to come to you.[/quote]

You do realize that Muslims believe the same about the Koran?

Here is a reference as to the Koran:
[i]
"The Quran is the last testament in a series of divine revelations from God (Allah in Arabic). It consists of the unaltered and direct words of God, which were revealed through the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad, the final prophet of Islam, more than 1400 years ago."[/i]

[b]Why would one give greater credence to what Christians believe about the Bible versus what Muslims believe about the Koran?[/quote]
Because the Bible has a risen Christ who performed miracles while on Earth, humbled Himself to die on the cross, and rose again to Life and was witnessed by hundreds of people.[/b] Anyone truly trying to come to grips with this should do some serious research on how the Gospels and Epistles of the New Testament were truly written, handed down and preserved to see there's much more to it than you think. God revealed Himself, proved to those who walked with him on the Earth that Christ was God in the flesh, and was resurrected never to die again. This is a far greater witness than Muhammad. [b]The Koran, which was written hundreds of years after the New Testament, denies Christ. The Gospels and some of the epistles of the New Testament were written by the very men who knew Christ and who witnessed his miracles, death and resurrection. They have a far, far weightier testimony[/b].[/quote]

Ok, I usually don't like to poke/talk about other people's beliefs but the first part of your post is only true if You believe in it. The Bible has a risen Christ only if you believe that, there is nothing that you can use as evidence in the bible and to discredit the Quran because it was written hundreds of years later and on the same breath accept the Bible which  was not written when Jesus (a.s) was alive, and his recognition as being son of God was something that people voted on at the Council of Nicea,  some  3 hundred years later, not something He said . This is only True because You believe in it, even though there are Gospels that do talk about the coming of Muhammad (saw) that Christians deny ( i-e Gospel of Barnabas .It is also a bit weird for a Christian to deny the Quran on the basis that the Qur'an came hundreds of years ago, since Christians believe in Moses and Abraham  and Jesus's accounts of Moses  and Abraham's life even though Jesus came hundreds of years after those 2. And finally, muslims do not Deny Jesus, we accept him as a man and a prophet, Jews would be the ones who denied him.....[/quote]
