Honestly Atlas, your intentions, although in vain, I understand. If you want to attempt to prove your deity based on the fact that many different ancient groups shared religious concepts, I will refute you by talking about the psychological "God Complex." It's not the proper term, but it is an actual scientific phenomena which argues that humans have an instinctual desire to place faith in things they don't understand or comprehend. In the times of major Mesopotamian, Greek, and Native-American civilizations, mankind didn't know about things such as Gravity, Physics, Cosmic Radiation, or Meteorology. This would have meant in, for example, the case of a flood, early man may have thought it was the work of a Higher Power we cannot see. I believe this theory is proven by The Epic of Gilgamesh. The use of Gods in this poem enforces that religion has always been used as a way to explain unusual events which can now be explained via science. These are just my opinions though.
Speaking of that: The Epic of Gilgamesh references The Great Flood, a religious cliche that translated to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam

Paul was a misogynist: A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 1st Timothy 2:11-13
