Maybe I'm a heretic, but I think Moses and the leaders after him made that crap up, then put it in the Bible. But then again, with string theory and all that, I think God is larger and more complex than a human can ever even begin to understand, and a lot of what we have is just filtered down through puny, imperfect, and corruptible human minds to be written into the Book.
But as a Freemason, I believe that God's word is still there. Its just that it takes a lot of wisdom to decipher it.

Also, it's blasphemy. Here's another gem about blasphemy, it's an unforgivable act:
“I promise you that any of the sinful things you say or do can be forgiven, no matter how terrible those things are. But if you speak against the Holy Spirit, you can never be forgiven. That sin will be held against you forever.” — Mark 3:28-29
blas·phe·my
noun: blasphemy; plural noun: blasphemies
1. the act or offense of speaking sacrilegiously about God or sacred things; profane talk.
Here's an interesting theological article that states that Jesus himself says that the Old Testament is the word of God:

It goes into more depth than that, but that's what's important to take away from it. So there ya go, the J-Man says that it's the word of god, and you have basically said he made shit up. You have now blasphemed against the holy spirit! I'll see ya in hell, all the cool people will be there anyway.
