I see, would it be possible to get some explanation to "why it's reliable".

We know the texts we have are virtually 100% accurate relative to the originals. So we can believe we have the Bible as it was written.

Why we think it's God's Word is a much more complex question. One good indicator is the way archeology has confirmed much of what the Bible says about people, places and events of that time.

A good site dealing with science and the Bible is reasons.org. Though I think they somewhat overstate the case, they do go into a lot of detail as to why there is no real conflict and a lot of positive stuff of how they agree.

One of the best Bible scholars of the last 60 years was F.F. Bruce . This online book goes into some detail about the New Testament.
