OK but who said there was no logical view that could explain the formation of the country?
Quote:Israel. What is the atheistic view on the formation of the country and culture of Israel?
There is no one atheistic view on this or one theistic view on this.
Quote: What possibilities are there other than the views outlined by what is seen within The Bible?
I don't really know what the bible says about the formation of Israel but I wouldn't discount it as being true before I've even read it, but if it involves god saying "let there be Israel" Or anything even slightly like that, then I would guess the probability of it being true is very low.

Quote:As to how they came to believe it..... how does any culture develop an origin myth? The Romans had a pair of twins dropped in a river and raised by a wolf.
I actually read something about roman history and creation myths the other day which said some Italians even attempted to provide archeological evidence for this, it was something like a hut that romulus or remus built up in the hills.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
