No, there's nothing wrong with making a claim like that. We do and have. I'm simply stating that in this case, we have a model, and it is supported by compelling evidence. The Hebrew concept of god is not in this case volcano worship (though volcano worship is common the world over). We see the formation of the Hebrew concept of god in the record, as part of an ongoing serious of encounters and assimilation of and into regional cultures. The model we have has been weighed against the theory that you are advocating (and many others) and has been found to more closely conform to the body of evidence that many disciplines of the sciences have amassed in this regard.
Lemme give you a qoute from the "Exodus Decoded" wiki that demonstrates the idea I'm trying to impart here.
"Jacobovici uses circular logic for his assertions. In the absence of any other evidence, Jacobovici attempts to find a real-world explanation for a Biblical phenomenon. Then, from the fact that a phenomenon could be caused by a certain event, Jacobovici surmises that a Biblical phenomenon was caused by exactly that type of an event."

Your narrative is remarkably similar, I assume because you are working from actual historical events (as Jacobovici claims to have done). The entire narrative becomes circular reasoning if you attempt to explain it by scientific methods. It didn't happen that way because it could have happened that way. You need to have solid evidence of the event in question, not a proof of concept.
