Evidence? Yes indeed there is,but evidence is not a synonym for proof. The Torah is the [ at least partially plagiarised] mythology of an insignificant tribe of bronze age goat herders. That mythology is neither credible evidence nor proof any of the claims you have made.
In case the name was not enough of a hint,this is an ATHEIST FORUM. That means most people here do not believe in gods. (theists are allowed,over my objections) IF you want to claim something was inspired by a god,you need first to establish (prove) the existence of that god. So far, not one person in recorded history has managed that task.
PS Abraham and Mose are almost certainly both mythical figures.
ALTER2EGO -to- PADRAIC:
As examples of the Bible being inspired by God, I presented in my OP the examples of two Bible writers who knew the earth is a 3D circle that hangs upon nothing. They knew this info centuries before any other people knew it--which is hardly examples of, as you put it, the plagiarized writings of goat herders.
BTW: Upon what do you base your speculation that Abraham and Moses are mythical figures? Do you have any evidence of this?
FYI: I'm well aware that this is an atheist forum. I don't have anything against people who chose to be atheists. I hope you don't mind.
