[HConstantine]

He's also attacking a strawman.

[skabudaw1]

he basiclly says "thats not convincing"

where is the refutation?

where is the evidence that it was written as early is it claims it was written

[amaxamon]

@skabudaw1 There is much internal evidence that the Tanakh esp. the Torah is very ancient & thoroughly Jewish. I am an atheist but I find the minimalist school unconvincing.

[skabudaw1]

i'm athiest as well....the Torah seems like a collection of writings from different authors in different ages....

i would say the process of codifying it began in Babylon circa 500BC...its oral tradition could be older though..

[amaxamon]

@skabudaw1 This is the prevailing scholarly consensus.
