The bible is obviously an ancient text. It has been translated right and left for hundreds of years or more. If someone wants to use it as a guide to living life, that's their decision. Arguing against believers in the bible about the bibles validity is obviously a waste of time. If you believe that the bible is a poor source of information, that's fine and it seemingly fits with reality as we understand it, but as long as a believer in the bible doesn't do something stupid in the bible's name, it's okay.
Run on sentances aside, it can be very frustrating to have your questions turned away by something you consider circular. I think the problem is that people ask these questions of believers too often. People ask Christians (for example) about why they believe in a document that is so old and is suspect. Why would you ask someone that? It seems like questions like that clearly do not have a simple or even feasable resolution. It all boils down to the old 'pick your battles' addage. Unless the believer is doing something wrong in the name of faith, just let them be happy.
Let us be happy.
