Not even close. Completely 100 % false. It is not what you claim.
The Babylonian texts found in the Royal Library (when it was discovered), at Ashurbanipal in the 1880's by FAR predate the Bible, and in fact many of the characters and stories from Babylon, (for example the Gilgamesh Epic) are IN the Babylonian texts. Also the Enuma Elish, https://www.ancient.eu/article/225/enuma...tion---fu/ the Babylonian Creation Myth.
In these texts we find Yahweh's origins (the 40th son of the High God El-Elyon). Time to take a real course in history, sonny.
The Code of Hammurabi was written more than a thousand years before any Bible text was written. https://www.sacred-texts.com/ane/ham/index.htm
There are hundreds if not thousands of other known texts that predate the Bible. https://researchguides.library.vanderbil...8&p=445086

I would venture to guess you have no clue when the Bible texts were written, (and don't even think of saying they were written by (a) "Moses"). We know they weren't.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
