Lets get back to extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
A book with people saying we "saw/heard this" is not the proof we are looking for, especially when the same book is in fact the claim.
The thing that really blows the whole thing out of the water, at least for me, is the fact that this "universal truth" was only known to a small group of people in a geographically limited area.
The people of South America and the Australias had to be told about these things and made to believe, often at sword point they had different incompatible beliefs.
Christianity wasn't even that popular in the Roman world until it became the religion of the state.
If yahweh was the only godthen all the people of the world would have heard about it prior to western contact and would all have known of christ, moses and all the rest. The fact they didn't shows it for the man made fairy tales that they so obviously are.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
