The example fails in many areas, since it leaves the preservation (or keeping) up to man. God's word was preserved by Him (he did not leave it up to man to preserve His word perfect through the ages and into different languages). It's nothing for the creator of the universe to do this though.


Despite having difficulties following your logic of how a God would even care about books and how he would have to be a puppet master (what happened to 'free will' there?), your analogy was flawed to begin with. Shakespeare's work is hardly comparable to the Bible in terms of age, origin and preservation, as all originals were lost long before the KJV version was even made.

( On a lighter side note, this is what happens when you put too much value in a certain piece of literature: http://www.theonion.com/content/news/evolutionists_flock_to_darwin )
