What is the oldest religious text?

1) Hinduism - c. 1500 BC.
2) Law of Moses - 1635-1594 BC.
3) Hierglypics - c. 3000 BC.
4) Cuneforms - c. 3300 BC.
5) Gen 5.1 - c. 4148 BC.I have read a lot of claims by Atheists, even on this web site, that Hinduism was the oldest religion.
You can imagine my shock when I read that this is trashy talk.
The encyclopedias are compiled by Atheists too.Egypy only has believed writings as early as 3000 BC.
The first pyramid is believed to be from about 2760 BC.What does this say about the origin of man?
The evolutionists dating of origin of man is not sustained by any evidence; only theory.Does thia prove a young earth?hoaryhead

"Mathematics is the most exact science known to man."This statement has been published by a host of intelligent men; whom I have read over the last 56 years.Anyone comprehending mathematics knows that this statement is true.Babylon destroyed Jerusalem, and carried Judah captive in "the 19th year of Nebuchanezzar" (2Ki 25.6-10).This is dated 588 BC. The 19th year begins after the 18th year.'
606 BC - 18 Years = 588 BC.The rest is grade school reading comprehension, and grade school math.Moses wrote from 1635 BC (Ex.) to 1594 BC (Deut.)BIBLE TIME-LINE

For: Brian;1) "Now, add the 480 years of 1 Kings 6.1 on to 1006 [BC] and you get 1488 BC for the Exodus."2) I love it when you Atheists talk so foolishly, as though you were wiser than your Maker, and as though your words could overrule the word of God.The reason is this: "Sometimes you touch on a subject that I have not investigated, and I feel duty-bound to prove you are wrong, in simple terms."3) The Papal Dark Ages had men bound to deductive logic, and there was no scientific progress (in Europe only) for 500 years.
Historians had described these people as "incapable of original thought."
But the renaissance restored original thought (in music first), and scientists turned to inductive logic, leading to constantly increasing knowledge.
But Brian has ignored the deliverance from the Dark Ages, and has returned to deductive logic - only.4) "The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, and dwelt in Haran, and said to him, 'Get out of your country ... and come to a land that I will show you.' ... But God spoke in this way ... that they would bring them into bondage and oppress them 400 years ... At this time Moses was born ... 'Do you want to kill me as you did the Egyptian yesterday?' Then at this saying, Moses fled .. And when 40 years had passed an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush ... He brought them out, after he had shown wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness 40 years" - Acts 7.2-36.5) Paul also summarized a few main points of the history of Israel; which were:
strangers in land of Egypt - Acts 13.17.
40 years [plus 1 - Num 1.1 (1); 14.34 (40)] in wilderness - 13.18.
destroyed 7 nations - 13.19.
judges about 450 years - 13.20.
Saul was king - 13.21.
David was king - 13.22.
Jesus was seed of David - 13.23. Total years from Egypt to Solomon (in this summary) = 497 years plus 80 years of reigns of Saul and David; now totaling 567 years.6) Now when we have the story told in such simple terms, besides the original account that was being summarized by these two men, then it is ridiculous for Brian to deny all of this evidence because he does not understand another verse.7) Another opposer of God also denied the 450 years of Judges. But Paul was dogmatic, saying, "450 years until Samuel the prophet" (13.20).
So then, in the book of Judges we have 410 years of Judges, but it is stated that Israel did not always listen to the judges (2.17); and Eli judged 40 years (1Sam 4.18), "until Samuel."
410 Years + 40 Years = 450 Years of Judges until Samuel.8) That is too much evidence to be dismissed lightly. But here is what the verse in question
(1 Kings 6.1) means. [This was a supernatural operation. Because I am a faithful witness to the True and Living God, and to His Son, Iesous Anointed; He has promised to send me Wisdom. See: James 1.4-8.]"He will be (HYHY) in eighty years and in 400 years [Gen 15.13], to coming; sons of Israel; from land of Egypt, in the fourth year, in month of Ziv; this the second month to Solomon 'kinging' over Israel, and he built the temple to 'He Is' (Yahweh)" - 1Ki 6.1.God was "in" the 80 years [Judg 3.30], and in the 400 years [2035 - 1635 BC], and Solomon built the temple to "He Is" [God is only in the present tense].That is why the Devil wants your mind on "the long ago" and on "the far off."hoaryhead
