Atheist Bible Study 1: Genesis

[Jehanne]

That a little deep for bronze age goat herders, man.

Genesis was not written by goat herders, and was written several centuries after the Bronze Age.

I know this is a standard insult, but nobody should believe it. Atheists like to use non-literal metaphors also.

No scholar believes that Genesis is the oldest literary document.  That honor likely belongs to The Epic of Gilgamesh; however, the Sumerians had invented writing in the 4th-mellinium BCE, over 1,000 years prior to the Gilgamesh epic.
