How could it be any different?
What does the given have to do with anything? For example, under the identical framework, you have
What’s the probability the Bible exists given God is necessary? 1.
What’s the probability the Bible exists given God is NOT necessary? 1.
You've done nothing to distinguish anything. All you're claiming here is that the Bible exists. You're claiming nothing about God.

Once possibility goes away so to do the possible worlds where things could be different than they are in our actual world.
I don't even know if you know what you mean by "possible worlds."

So if we assume God’s impossible—there’s a Bible; if we assume God’s necessary—there’s a Bible.
No. If we *observe* the Bible, then we can say there exists a Bible. In the absence of such observations of the physical universe, there *might* be a Bible, but there might not. There are possible worlds in which the Bible doesn't exist.
Unless you're now going to take the position that there is only one possible world, but that's an entirely different conversation and doesn't help you make any progress on any part of your argument up to this point.
