So unless it's your posistion that the people said "hey guy's how about we ditch our religion and make up a new one when we get to where we are going", rather than the religion evolving since it's based on ORAL tradition.
Then post your sources, how many times must I state this.
Here's your "logic":
P1. People migrated out from Mesopotamia.
P2. The German language evolved from the language in ancient Mesopotamia.
C. Germanic religion, being based on oral tradition, evolved from some Mesopotamian religion.
Even if we were to accept the truth of the premises (and I question the accuracy of the "facts" you stated), do you not see how the conclusion only weakly follows from the premises (and I'm being generous here)? It could logically be that the Germanic people nevertheless came up with a fairly new religion over time in the new land. I don't see any conclusive evidence for your position, so until you present it, consider me very skeptical.
If only you had the same level of skepticism in regards to abiogenesis...
