The Risk of Misunderstanding the Truth of the Bible

I was recently involved in a debate with an atheist. The main case against Christianity that the atheist had was that, well, why would a God choose to communicate this essential truth through this incredibly broken form of using copied and errors being made? And I tried to answer that firstly, I tried to say we actually have quite a good way of getting back to the original text. So it's not quite as bad as you're making out. But but equally, I suppose there's that question of could God have done it a different way? This seems like a very sort of, you know, prone to us being able to take our own thing from it and re-understand it.
