Quote:In fact, as Julius Wellhausen demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt, the Pentateuch is a complilation (at the earliest, in the fifth century BC or later, i.e. about a thousand years after the supposed lifetime of Moses) of four earlier narrative and legal sources, collections of legends and laws. It is fairly simple to tell the sources apart even in English translation, once you know what to look for.

Wellhausen, a respected 19th century scholar, was writing at a time when it was safe to do so. He did not have to worry about torch-waving mobs of morons like Dripshit tying him to a stake and setting him on fire.
