Let’s see.
==============================================================================================
It’s true that many “scholars” tell us that:
- Because pagan mythological stories resembling in some measure the early chapters of Genesis exist;
- And those stories (not in the Hebrew language) existed before Moses penned the book we call Genesis;
- That therefore Moses must have based his writing on ideas borrowed from those mythologies.
It is also true that many “religionists” tell us that God gave Moses those ideas directly by inspiration, when He prompted Moses to pen the record; Moses was not simply committing to writing, information handed down from Noah (and probably Adam).
However, it is demonstrable that neither of those ideas is correct.
==============================================================================================
The quickest and simplest way to demonstrate that is to consider aspects of the written Chinese language.
The migrant group(s) who gave rise to the Chinese people must have split off around the time of Nimrod and Babel, if not before – very early on. Long before Moses wrote Genesis. Yet Chinese calligraphy harbours inarguable traces of the early world history as penned much later by Moses.
That being the case (and Readers are invited to check whether or not that is so), the early history of the world as recorded by Moses, was already known from the earliest times, and the pagan myths are merely distortions of the original knowledge.
And when we consider that Noah’s and Abram’s (Abraham’s) lives overlapped by 50 or 60 years, it would not be inappropriate to deduce that Abraham learned the original history from the faithful, God-fearing Noah. And deduce that both spoke the same (original) language. Abraham in turn would have ensured that the important knowledge was passed down through succeeding generations of his faithful descendants until it finally reached Moses.
==============================================================================================
The Chinese calligraphy really is worth checking out. A Chinese lady at a Bible study I was attending, who had recently developed an understanding of the Gospel message, became so excited when I presented the idea to the group. She even identified the significance of some characters for the rest of us, without any prompting. So the concept is not contrived.
Maybe it should excite us, too.
