Most modern scholars would disagree with you there.
"Scholars in the first half of the 20th century came to the conclusion that the Yahwist was produced in the monarchic period, specifically at the court of Solomon, and the Priestly work in the middle of the 5th century BC (the author was even identified as Ezra), but more recent thinking is that the Yahwist was written either just before or during the Babylonian exile of the 6th century, and the Priestly final edition was made late in the Exilic period or soon after." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Ge...Davies37-6

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
