The Bible is plagiarized/ Copied and slightly modified from centuries of prior myth

As I am not 100% sure what texts Con wants to use. I will use the oldest texts I know about to compare the bible to. Where does Genesis come from? The first story in the bible comes from a number of prior myths. Enûma Eliš is a Babylonian creation myth (18016th century BCE) is one of the clearest examples of themes and meanings being taken from their historical roots and adapted to Christian culture. [1] There was nothing and the two gods created everything. These two gods also created man. I do not have the character count to list the relationships but I will pose the argument that Moses used this text as a basis and inspiration of the Genesis 1 account. A quick chart below to show both similarities and differences. I would like to point out the list is extensive on both sides. But there are clear similarities and the underlying point is that being they are so close, but so far apart in date of writing, the most logical explanation to account for this relationship would be that the myth was hand down to the generation of the early Hebrews and modified for that generation and the new idea of monotheism. Similarities and Differences with the Genesis Account Similarities Differences (1) Both accounts speak of a time when the earth was without form and void. (2) Both accounts have a similar order of events in creation. (3) There are seven tablets and seven days of creation. (1) One account is grossly polytheistic while the other is strictly monotheistic. (2) One accounts confuses spirit and matter while the other carefully distinguishes between the two. The Ten Commandments: Where do these laws come from? While this is not a debate of where morality come from, the fact that the commandments came from a previous text dictating very similar moral laws.The Egyptian book of the dead was written roughly 2375 - 2345 BC, the Exodus round 1400 BCE, (roughly 1000 years later) and outlines a list that many find quite astounding to see. It is written in exodus that mosses brought Ten Commandments, written by god, and delivered them to the Israelites. These were to be the laws that god judges humanity by. In chapter 125 of the book of the dead, a laundry list of laws are written, may more than ten. But if one were to summarize the list, or to pick out key rues t follow, many would from a list no unlike the one Moses had. Why would Moses, raised by pharos, educated as an Egyptian royal, come up with a list of ten laws so similar to the rules of his previous gods? Occams razor, which s more likely god gave him laws or Moses picked the top ten from a book he studied as a child? David and goliath: The David and Goliath story appears Homers Iliad, where the young Nestor fights and conquers the giant Ereuthalion. Each giant has a specific weapon, iron club in Ereuthalion and a massive bronze spear in Goliath’s. Each giant, clad in armor, stands away in front of the enemy’s formation to challenge anyone in the opposing army; in each case the challeng is taken up by a younger boy, Nestor is the twelfth son of Neleus, David the seventh or eighth son of Jesse. In each case a father figure (Nestor’s own father, David’s patron Saul) tells the boy that he is too young and inexperienced, but in each case the young hero receives divine aid and the giant is left dead. Nestor, fighting on foot, then takes the chariot of his enemy, while David, on foot, takes the sword of Goliath and the army runs scared of the boy ho took down a giant. The story of David was written around 630-540 BCE, the written version of the Iliad, roughly 800BCE Although this is only three stories I pulled, i do not have the time or the space to list all of the copies. but s you cn see there are a nuber of predated works that the bible is borrowing from.
