God.

I mean like on Earth. Not to sound sarcastic, but did God reach down from heaven with a pen and started writing?

No, he had his words transcribed. He is much too busy to sit down and write.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

So you obviously are not a Christian in any sense of the word. Please read THIS Godly Chick Tract which explains in detail how God transmitted the Holy KJV1611 Bible.
Now let me anticipate your next question:
"If God wrote the Bible, why do we give the human authors the credit?" am I right?
This is how God works. I see it like a mother making cookies. Her young child so badly wants to help. So, even though Mom could do it much more quickly and with much less mess if she worked alone, she gladly accepts her child's help. Then when the cookies are done and Daddy comes home from work, Mom proudly displays the cookies and says, look at what little Susie made for you today, taking none of the credit for herself.
God uses us to carry out His tasks, not because He needs us, not because we do such a great job, but because He knows that we are blessed by being used by Him. It is clear that none of the writers of Scripture could have conjured up the writings without God inspiring them. Since God is perfect, He would never allow Hid Holy Word to be written with error.
"And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" (II Peter 1:18-21).
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

I'm sorry but the link didn't work for me. My next question was actually, I do agree that God inspired/wrote/whatever word you prefer, my question was literally who, on earth, actually wrote down Gods word?

The link works fine for me. You must have demons in your computer.
As for your question on the specifics of who God used as His instruments to take down His Divine Dictation, we know with certainty in many cases, but in some cases it isn't clear and respected Theologians disagree.
I wonder why you are wasting so much time in idle curiosity on such an insignificant point. If God wanted us to have this information, we would have it.
Have you Tithed yet?
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

Yea, my comps possessed by demons
As to wasting my time, I am merely curious as to your view. I saw a view I thought was factually wrong and tried to correct them. As it turns out, I was wrong (or disproved or whatever you prefer).
No, I have not tithed. I just joined the forum.

If and when you get Saved© you will have access to the JesOS operating system. It's an excellent search engine as well as the ultimate firewall.
In the future, try using the "search" function before wasting our time with repetative, unimportant questions. Don't be a pest.
