Who heard the conversation Satan had with God about Job?

Who heard the prayer Jesus gave right before His arrest in John 17?

Who heard Jesus rebuke Satan by quoting Deuteronomy 3 times during His 40 days in the wilderness?
The Bible is God's interpretation as a witness who was there working in the affairs of men . He is watching to hasten His word to perform it.

Or how did the author of Genesis knew how the Creation, fall, flood etc happened.

We probably cannot know today, because we do not know how the inspiration of the Bible authors worked. Maybe they had some visions and so saw these events.

Maybe they incorporated tradition, babylonian records and people's wisdom/sayings with some inspired corrections.

We do not know.

Why not keep it simple? God spoke directly to each and every prophet, and directed him to write down what was spoken. We have multiple examples of this in Scripture. Scripture was NOT written by the will of man, so the prophets were not seeking to incorporate man-made legends into Scripture. Babylonian records included exaggerations to make the Babylonian kings look mightier than they were.
