Why did your God decide to pass his message to humanity though 40+ authors over the course of 2500 years? It seems a very ineffective way to get your message across, especially for someone to 'designed' ever expanding universe. Does this not bother you at all?
God talked to Adam and Eve face to face. But they didn't believe Him enough to keep from sinning. Then there were others He talked to with words from Heaven, like Cain. But Cain disobeyed, as well. And, of course, there is you, who won't even believe Him though He has given many writers to tell you. Just be glad that God is patient with you enough that He allows you to live, with the hope that you will obey Him from now on... rather than striking you down for not believing all His witnesses.

So I guessing the answer is no.
How about this? You said that the Bible is true because it is a witness account of what happened. And as such it is reliable.
My question is: "Adam and Eve were the first man and woman. When God talked to them in the Garden of Eden, who was the witness to write about it? Some hunched Jew hiding in the bushes?"
Same goes for the Quran, "Who was the witness when Muhammad (a blind man) went from Mecca to Jerusalem, alone at night, and then flew to heaven, nobody saw it, yet someone wrote about it? Who was the secret witness?"
The writers of these texts had a vivid imagination (talking snakes, winged horses), today, their work would put them in the same genre as Harry Potter books.
