It doesn't matter if they can be shown to be authentic or not. Those who choose not to believe will stick with that choice no matter what evidence to the authenticity of the scripture cited is. They have hardened their hearts to the Holy Spirit, and no amount of talk or convincing will change that.

 I'm sorry, I have to disagree with you. You can't expect people to *just believe* and not have any evidence of a scripture's validity. Now there's the whole issue of "pearls before swine" for people who have already made up their minds, but what if there was someone who was still on fence?

 If the Bible turns out to be forgery, then people would not want to believe it.

 However, if the Bible stands the test of scrutiny and does hold authentic, then it should be faith strengthening, to say the least.
