This is the key.

First, try explaining similarities in religions from a literal Biblical viewpoint.

Second, note that people frequently get sloppy with assumptions because it seems so intuitive.

hmmmm tricky... can you provide a sumerian equivalent of the bible?
I'd wager they wrote the book well before the hebrews wrote the Torah.

But why am I arguing over books written by people? The thread is about beliefs in gods, not beliefs in the contents of books.
