How many manuscripts are there of the New Testament?
There are more than 24,000 surviving manuscripts or pieces of the New Testament manuscripts. Of these the earliest manuscripts date back to 130 AD. This is just decades after Mark was written in 50 AD. And of the discrepancies that are "found" they are differences of 'he' verses 'him' or 'they' and 'them' or misspellings of the word because at that time the early Christians had to spread the Gospel quickly and the error checking like that of the Old Testament was not available and was not the most viable solution. Keep in mind Plato was written between 427-347 BC and the earliest copy is from 900AD. That is 1200 years and there are only 7 copies of the original.

Why is the bible a legitamite athouritative source?
Answer: Because of the vast number of virtually unchanged manuscripts which have been found of it's books. Works of literature and authoritative historical documents have their validity based on forensic evidence. Forensic evidence in cases of ancient literature is the copies itself that were written down and copied many years ago. The more manuscripts which are found of a piece of literature increases its validity. In the case of Homer's Odyssey - a piece of literature which is required reading in English classes in some universities, around 500 copies have been found, if memory serves me correctly. In the case of the New Testament - which is the last 26 books found in the Bible, over 25,000 manuscripts have been found which gives it a great deal of validity and authority.
