1)There are only two candidates to have written the OT. Greek educated people in Alexandria or Greek educated people in Judea.

2)The contents are completely fictional without exception or mental reservation regarding campfire stories or traditions and such. They are fiction in the sense of Buffy the Vampire Slayer not in the sense of Band of Brothers.

3)Whoever created these books did so not earlier than the 2nd c. BC.

Do we agree? Because if we agree there several times in the supporting articles I say it is immaterial if it were actually written in Alexandria. I also point out that "Hebrew" did not exist (no evidence for existence) in the 2nd c. BC and as such Greek or Aramaic are the only candidate languages for the initial version. As there is no sign of an Aramaic that leaves Greek by simplest hypothesis. Is there evidence the simplest is not the most likely?
I get it you're just a Poe atheist.

You've already managed to self-contradicted yourself.

I am certain you don't give a rat's ass if I ignore you or not. So far your posts have been without substantive content and the style has been juvenile name calling. I have no interest in such an exchange. If you are interested in a substantive exchange it will depend upon your response.
