It's sad that you are relying solely on Iron Age myth and legend to try and back up your claims.
prove they are a myth and only legend. empty declarations like that are not proof of anything.
Why are you so afraid of open inquiry into our origins?
not afraid, just tired of evolutionists trying to brainwash children with their lies. did you know that not one evolutionary experiment actually replicates the claimed process or declared changes?
Where do you suppose the people who wrote Genesis got their information
#1 it is not 'people' but Moses. one person
#2 from God.
Before writing, stories were handed down over the generations
please prove that true. the idea that there was no very early writing comes from an argument of silence not fact.
Seriously, we know that man lived long before the Bible was ever written, so where did the writers get their info? Obviously from stories that were handed down
prove it. because some modern peoples, aborigines to name one, could not read nor write in their early days, doesn't mean that the ancestors of the israelites could not.(or other ancient societies)
from your link:
Many scholars are of the opinion that the initial chapters of the book of Genesis were written in the land of Mesopotamia (present Iraq), in about 1400 BC,
notice the words 'many scholars' and 'of the opinion' obviously they are selected scholars who do not believe the Bible and may only be 10 in number and they canot prove it true and have no evidence to support that opinion.
This concept is even older than the pre-historic epoch (i.e. 3200 BC). So obviously the concept of Heavens must have been borrowed from some other nation by the writer of the book of Genesis
in dealing with secularists it is often the case that they will attribute the wrong source then accuse the biblical writers of something they did not do and that these secularists cannot prove.
the ancient israelites did not have a reputation for copying other nations beliefs BUT the old babylonians did (Mesopotamia and the Bible by Childress and Younger jr., pg. 161-3)
research?
I have written this series of articles based on my research work for “Pick Me Up” organization
this is simply hearsay and does not prove he actually researched anything and his conclusions are not factual but his misinterpreted andmisapplied ideas.
