Several thousand languages on Earth

: And I very seriously doubt that the bible has been translated into every language given that there are hundreds of languages used on Earth and that's just ONE PLANET! The very best of our scientific knowledge of biology, chemistry, astrophysics, etc. conservatively estimates that there are several thousand other advanced civilizations in our galaxy alone (and there are millions perhaps billions of other galaxies). So how wrong does THAT make you?

: Besides, you can't tell me that an African tribe that speaks in clicks and clacks has a meaningful and accurate translation of the entire holy bible or that such a thing is even feasible in such an obscure tongue.

Actually, there are several thousand languages in the world (I think 6000, something like that), including 1000 in New Guinea alone. And no, plenty of them do NOT have translations of the Bible.
