hi, John. I'm a little pressed for time. I don't mean to b curt.

that stuff about "awareness" is just another way of saying "I think therefore I am", which is just stating the obvious. Adam and Eve knew it was wrong to disobey Yahweh, they did, were punished, and here we are.

the Pentateuch is 3500 hundred years old, but the history it records reaches back to the "beginning". I think you're referring to the Gilgamesh epic. the fact that ancient myths and traditions have accounts in common with the Bible, is in the Bible's favor, not in its fault. Flood legends are worldwide. As mankind dispersed after the Flood, those accounts went with them, as they were still fresh in their minds. These accounts also include the extended lifespans up until the Flood.

usually people who bring up the Sumerians, etc, are unfamiliar with the nuts and bolts of those religions. They also bring up the similarities in Hammurabi's Code and the Mosaic Law. that's because in areas of conscience, stealing adultery, murder...there will be points of agreement in most cultures. (Paul explains this in Romans 2)

however, the way to separate the wheat from the chaff is in the first three commandments...monotheism and the forbidding of idolatry. Every single false religion of that day (and most now, including pseudo-Christian ones) was polytheistic, and required the use of images. This was expressly forbidden by Yahweh in both Judaism and continued after the first advent of the Messiah.

also, many of those religions (if not all), were totally bonkers. They were the great-grandfathers of the Egyptian, Canaanite, Babylonish, Greek, Roman, Hindu, Aztec gods.

see Genesis 2:4...the worship of Yahweh is the oldest, and only true religion. Yahweh is now worshipped through His only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ. That religion's precepts began to be translated in the 2nd or 3rd century BC into Greek, and has now been translated, and delivered to people in 1000s of languages. Every used bookstore in Tucson has dozens of copies of the Bible in Spanish and English. Copies of the Koran? take a guess.

and the "Genetic Eve"? That just corroborates Genesis, where Eve is called the "mother of all living". (Chapter 3) The 300, 000 years? Those dates shift all over the place. What was taught about Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons 50 years ago is now acknowledged as false. (It's funny watching old TV shows where they talk about Neanderthals "evolving". It's known now that they mated with "modern" man. when I was a kid, I thought it was all real.)

ps I Googled Jonah and Sumeria and got what I expected. Anyone familiar with Jonah can see that's bogus and that the Sumerian religion was fantastical, demonic BS.
