...This is what as mentioned in my original post was always bothering me, that a religion gets started by a man's words? My question to you guys then would be, why wouldn't you believe in the bible but would beleive in Buddhism?

I can only speak for myself, mystic, but Buddhism doesn't require a belief in things supernatural. The heart of the teachings that you are expected to examine for yourself, rather than blindly agreeing because it's the Buddha's words or tradition and the like. If you can't agree with everything in the suttas, that's OK.
