Does the center of the Bible tell you anything?
There is 594 chapters before and after one verse in the Bible. Add them up and you get 1188
Which is the number of the chapter. Psalms 118:8 And it says "It is better to trust in the LORD, than to put confidence in man" The chapter before it is the shortest chapter in the Bible and the one after it is the longest.
Do you think this is coincidence? Perhaps the men you claim wrote it had planned that out also?

"There is 594 chapters before and after one verse in the Bible. Add them up and you get 1188."
The chapters and verses were added MANY years after the writings of the documents in the bible by people who wanted a good way to reference the Bible.
" Perhaps the men you claim wrote it had planned that out also?"
The men who wrote the Bible were not the same men who added chapters/verses to the Bible.

Its not just coincidence, its actually advising us to trust in God rather than men. IN THESE “critical times hard to deal with,” temptations and pressures are ever increasing. Our honesty, for example, may be tested in the workplace. Our chastity may be tested among schoolmates. And our integrity is often put to the test by a morally corrupt world.—2 Timothy 3:1-5.
You realize that true justice is nearly impossible to find under the imperfect rule of man. (Psalm 146:3, 4; Proverbs 17:23) So rather than squander our precious time, energy, and resources trying to do away with all the wickedness around us, focus on our relationship with God. The Bible states: “As for me, the drawing near to God is good for me. In the Sovereign Lord Jehovah I have placed my refuge.”—Psalm 73:28.
So,Jehovah God will be our Refuge if we prayerfully seek his help and cultivate endurance.(Hebrews 10:32-36)

People may argue over this, but I think the Christian argument would be that God planned it, just like he plans everything, even to the the point far beyond anything we could imagine or even start to comprehend. This is the ideology that I believe, anyway.
Atheists may say that its either pure coincidence, or the "fraud" writers of the Bible made it so to fit in with their huge heist to transform the world with a made up religion about a God that doesn't exist.
Make your own mind up, but think what YOU think, not how anyone else tells you to. Don't let anyone persuade you otherwise, find out for yourself.
