No human being has ever explained how any thing and all things came into existence. Only the one whom we call GOD tells us the past from the beginning, the present, and the future up to the end.
The Word of God well known as the Holy Bible prove to us that there is God aside from whatever we see around us and far beyond. Everything is in the Holy Bible written by about 40 people from Mouses who started writing when he was 80 years upon the command of God in about 1,417 B.C. and wrote the first five books of the Holy Bible until the Apostle Ioannes who wrote the Book of Revelation in about A.D. 96 - it's now 2007.
It took about 1,500 years for the people commissioned by God to write His Word, people who did not live at the same time at the same place but who were borne by the Holy Spirit to do the will of God.
For believers, there's no question about the existence of the Holy Bible. But the unbelievers always insist that the Holy Bible is just the work of man. If the Holy Bible is just merely the work of man, who compiled these 66 books of the Holy Bible? Why is there no author? I mean a single author responsible for its compilation as there are many books authored by different persons?

The earliest printed edition of the New Testament in Greek appeared in 1516 from the Froben press. It was compiled by Desiderius Erasmus on the basis of the few recent Greek manuscripts, all of Byzantine tradition, at his disposal, which he completed by translating from the Vulgate parts for which he did not have a Greek text. He produced four later editions of the text.
