On the subject of age I would say that the numbers are false, OR (and I stress that there is great doubt here) the 'time scales' are not the 'years' you and I know. Where you and I know of many years of life due to advances in hygiene and medicine these things were not available in the so called "biblical time period"
I gave that link as a foundation reference. To establish that the 'Three religions' are one and the same. Ergo should the Qur'an promote the "beating of wives" this has been plagiarised from the other two, right down to the central Ten Commandments of all three religions. Now should you investigate further you will find similar edicts from Babylonian and Sumerian sacred texts.
It has been my observation that when a group wish to conquer another the first thing they do is "Demonise" the opponents gods/ god (=leaders). To ensure "their god is a bigger bully" than their opponents they anthropomorphisise the worst of human atrocities onto their deity of choice which is tantamount to saying... "See? If our god is such a 'Bad-Arse bastard' what makes you think that his followers are going to be a pushover?"
In this way the Judeo-Xtian-Islamic god is not free as you or I, nor what we would expect from an immortal deity to be free

Islam was developed from Christianity + Judaism of the era, plus some cultural elements and influences. Christianity was born as a heresy from Judaism. The Jews have also been changing their views upon their holy texts in time (I sincerely don't believe that the Jews today believe and understand the things exactly the same way the Jews of 2500 years ago did). So we all have the 10 commandments from the Jews, and many different interpretations of it (catholic, talmudic, islamic, etc.). What's about it?
