Is the Bible the word of God? For Christians, absolutely! Speaking as a sociologist, there is no reason to doubt that it is not. Christians live by that in agreement. Why? Speaking as a sociologist, there is only agreement reality; this is true for 'scientists'. Christians abide by the same principle. Both schools of thought 'Big Bang vs. Creationism' rely on information exchanged and what it means. They both reason that all there is... is basically man's grasping to understand what this world 'social reality' is and means to him/her.
From a Christian perspective, God has given us information to understand this world and what it means. This information is in the Bible ~ it is God's word. There is no need for man to interpret the Bible, only agree that it is the Word of God. By reading the Bible 'His Word' we learn about Him and what He means to us, what this world means to Him and to us. We should not lean on our own interpretation; because everyone can have an interpretation. Agreement reality means something is agreed to be 'absolutely'... in science "the sun is a star". We must treat the Bible in the same way.
Contemplating the Creator of Heaven and Earth, we can only imagine that God exits in a higher dimension of being and intellect. Our job is to have faith that we are His creation and that He loves us. The Bible is God's way of informing us of this, so that we can better understand Him through His Word ~ the information He gave us so that we can saved. Being a creation of the Living God, we know that His word has been written in our hearts, mind and soul ~ it is information written in us as a default mode. The Bible is a 'hard' copy of that information functioning as an additional resource to give us a sense of His presence and provide us comfort.
What can we do to spread that word? Simply... We can share those words and agree that we are God's creation and that he sent His Son to save us.
