Creatio Ex Nihilo - Forming Something out of Nothing?

[Mudhammam]

I'm still trying to figure out what Ignorant actually believes and where it is precisely that he disagrees with anything I've said.

I appreciate the edit in your post, Ignorant, but I will admit, especially given that last rant, you've struck me thus far as a pretentious believer who uses the username you do to mask your tendency to write long paragraphs and use words like "interlocutor" while not really saying anything. You call the biblical characters and saints like Augustine idiots but I wouldn't be surprised if you in fact only say that to sound credible to people whom you perceive have no high opinion of them.

Also, do you know even ONE scholar who doesn't acknowledge that 1) the Jews wrote myths, even borrowing from other cultures, 2) lived in Palestine, and 3) shepherded livestock?

And your idea that the people who read the mythical stories in the Bible literally or as a matter of fact are only the fundamentalists is silly. Sounds like some Reza Aslan bullshit
