To Chaos: About religion

I believe there is a higher power, BUT there is no such thing as a god. I mean think of it this way, imagine an old geezer wanting something for everyone to believe. What better way than the Bible? It's a book that most people read and it's the number one book of all time? Where di they even get it and how could they have translated it into English we, the British weren't around at the time? Explain that to me!!!!!!!!!
