I don't give two fucks if Gen 11 has been "corrupted" at some point with some irresponsible Hebrew scribe inserting "donkeys" where they weren't previously. All that proves is a small alteration to the text, nothing more. I still prefer an early date for the flood. This would mean that God wasn't with the Hebrews only 4,000 years up until Christ but more like 40,000. Ouch, sorry didn't realize that would hurt you rhythm
Hey, np, you prefer an earlier unknown..because the known quantity doesn't sit with you. That's fine. Lets not pretend we're referencing anything other than a preference you have for shoving a fairy tale farther into the past then that fairy tale itself would suggest. You don't even trust the narrative you have..you'd rather another one. Good for you. This isn't about placing a narrative anywhere in time, it's a matter of excusing a narrative for being a hopeless fuck-up. Again, you've abandoned history, preferring "some-when" in your imagination instead. It isn't me that's hurt by this, because It doesn't matter to me when the cow is said to have jumped over the moon, what it does hurt is any credibility or respect for your position (should you hope to hold either of these things). You'll have to excuse more than donkeys...to try that 40k bc date on btw. In fact...you're going to have to excuse the entirety of the narrative....because the very beginning the human narrative in genesis places you well beyond the mark you would hope for. I've mentioned this to Drich, and it bears repeating to you. The narrative is irreconcilable. No amount of contortion can salvage it as a factual retelling. None. You'll have to abandon it...and amusingly, you have already begun to do so.
