responding to common objections to bible part 7

[total relism]

TR, you are aware that you are the one making a claim that "the flood" existed.

Thus, it comes to YOU to prove it.

Be my guest.

The idea is quite honestly laughable.

while i indeed say yes to a global flood [with large amounts of evidence] i never said it on my op, that is for next thread. So stay tuned.

"showing hebrew was first": Non-sense
Basic archaeology: Stones tools were invented and used before the Iron one because it is more simple to make tools from stone than from iron as iron needs the development of several technology and knowledge.
It is the same for the material where we can write. Caves wall are perfect but can't be moved. So humans founded new media, and the Clay tablets being one of the media. Clay tablets were used before papyrus or Animals Skins as it is easy to write on it, and to shape. And when baked, it stay as new for a long time (if not broken by pillaging barbarians)So, when you find a library full of Clay Tablets that means it is older than a library full of papyrus.
We don't have any Clay Tablets with texts from the Bible. We have Clay Tablets for the book of Gilgamesh. So, Book of Gilgamesh is older than Bible, like a Bronze axe is older than Iron axe but newer that a Stone axe.
Before you ask, the older Jewish Clay Tablet is dated from the 14 Century BC, which is after the fall of the Sumerian Civilisation (oldest Sumerian Clay Tablet is 6000 BC). The book of Gilgamesh is, perhaps, the oldest written story on Earth. It was originally written on 12 clay tablets in cunieform script (somewhere between 2750 and 2500 BCE).

do you not see your assumption even assuming all you say is true? There are civilizations around today that dont have technology of USA or europe, yet are older. There are cases of people losing technology and going "backwards", so your dating is based 100% on assumptions [even if generally true] are not absolute. No to mention going off what we do have in archaeology does not equal what we dont have. There is famous saying in archaeology [forget who dont ask] said absence of evidence is not evidence against.


but i am glad to see you have moved the goalpost, you no longer defend isreal copying in 6th century bc it seems. That is the date that is important, did jews creation acount predate this time period that it is claimed they copied, the answer is yes, for the many reasons i gave earlier you ignored [or at least did not respond to]. Not to mention the whole idea of coping either jews were worse in world, or they never did [something your worldview cant accept]. To anyone who reads the text in full, i cant help but think they are not so willing to believe your claims as yourself.
