Because the Church existed before the Bible and is the one who put it together. Plenty of Jewish and Roman sources talking about Christ and his followers. His Apostles went all over the place and there are records of where they ended up.
So Christians created the Bible.
The Bible says God's word is preserved.
You say the Bible is not God's preserved word.
Understand how silly you sound. I'd trust the Bible far before anyone that says to follow what a group of people are doing. That's idiotic and God agrees with me on that.
It’s a matter of Logic. Much of the New Testament didn’t exist until after Christ’s death. He left the Apostles to run his Church. As various groups had wrong interpretations they had to formalize the teachings and put together the best documents to put together the Bible.
And yes before the Catholic Church canonized the Bible there was no official Old Testament. Various Jewish groups had different books they thought were valid. Now the Pentateuch including Genesis was pretty universally accepted but the Catholic Church made the Greek version the Septuagint the official version since it was what was in more common use at the time.

So Christianity didn’t exist until the Bible was canninized 400 years after Christ?
Again you are following tradition. You have zero proof that the Bible didn't exist until a group of people met to do a thing.
Are you saying genesis didn't exist until after Jesus was dead?
Again you are speaking nonsense. If you cannot use the Bible to decide which group to follow, do you just follow your heart?
