So if Genesis 2 was true, then snakes would still talk, but I understand what you're trying to say.
no no, they're currently orally occupied. you think the author wouldn't think of that?
If Leviticus was truly written at the time of Moses and came from God, then King David and Bathsheba would have been killed for adultery.
...david's the king. that's a bit like arresting the president. it doesn't really ever happen.
Except that the premise by most is that God gave the info to Moses, not Noah.
well, moses AND ezra, who had his scribes re-compiled the text from memory/divine inspiration.
Those contending that the laws were ahead of their time don't feel that they existed before the time that Moses supposedly received them.
generally. not many people subscribe to the whole "adam wrote a chapter, and noah worte a chapter..." idea. it's a little, well, TOO preposterous. when asked to write the story of his life, noah could only fill three chapters? really?
