You think that this does not describe the history of judaism as a belief - as we can ascertain it? I think that your claim is myopic and factually incorrect. Course, if it weren't - if you were right....what? Nothing.
Do you think that there were no jews...before the OT was finally penned, or do you think there was a pre-existing oral tradition? How could a religion following what was an oral tradition (if there was one) be based upon a book ? How does that work?
