that's what Origen said too!
Maybe he too was trying to avoid answering questions he was not prepared to account for... The default response seems to be to trivialize and dismiss without answering any of the questions that have been presented.
The problem with only quoting the work of others is that it leaves you when you wander beyond the scope being presented. Otherwise why not flourish what has compiled all of this information?

Pretty sure that's common knowledge. Speaking of common, a new religion claiming authority or authenticity by way of attempting to claim an older established religion as it's herald is about as run-of-the-mill as it gets. I'm sure you think it's complete nonsense in every other case, but, special rules for "special" fairy tales, eh?
This is a total mis-categorization of the facts being presented. Genesis which is what this thread is about is a well established book in the Pentateuch Which is the Corner stone of the Jewish Faith. It is not a doctrinal book of Christianity in any way shape or form. Which in of itself invalidates your previous argument completely.
This should be a conversation about the Jews and where they sourced materials. The fact that you do not see the separation here and the fact that you misinterpreted the facts being presented in this thread shows you do not understand the basic concept you are trying to force into the conversation..
-Or you do not understand the relationship between Judaism and Christianity.
