Why? Why is it that you believe the Bible to be literal, factual, historically accurate "TRUTH"?
That is a loaded question. One could go into detail and explain infallibility, authority, self-authentication, sufficiency, perspicuity, finality, reliability, trustworthiness, internal & external evidences...but simply put, it is the revealed word of God, written by men moved along by the Holy Spirit.

Especially when it is full of contradictions, mistranslations and changes that were proven to be made well after the original was written.
That is a loaded assertion. All of which have been dealt with ad-nauseam. You guys really need to do some research and come up with some new material instead of just reading off the top 10 common objections.
With the exception of "external evidence" (internal evidence is simply "it's true because it says it is true") those are the "what" you believe. Not the "why". Simply put, you have yet to say why you believe it to be true. Is it what you were taught when young? Have you examined all sides of the issue with an open mind (not the arguments in AiG)? Did God at some point speak directly to you and say "Yes, the Bible is true"?
And the assertion of the accuracy (or lack of it) hasn't been dealt with "ad nauseam". You have only answered it with links to a very biased website. One which stated (the first line on the page about the speed of light not being constant) that :
"In virtually all areas of science, we find evidence that strongly confirms the Genesis account of creation."

Really? Which areas are those?
Biology? Botany? Geology? Paleontology? Physics? Chemistry?
