He was in Eqypt alright as the adopted son of the Queen of Eqypt. And you don't know much about Genesis either, because you have never read it, numbnuts.
I know that your genesis is a old Egyptian legend. I know that it is written a thousand years before your so-called creation. I know that you don't know, because it is too scary for you to give up your precious myth of yours.

Incidentally the Book of Genesis first reports interaction with Egypt in the Abram/Abraham stories. So there was plenty of time to pick up the odd creation myth. The standard theory however is that the creation myth is actually based on the Mesopotamian myth.
Originally posted by RJHindsNo I'm referring to the Torah. The whole thing was written after the return from exile.
You are referring to the scholars estimate of the completion of the Old Testament. The first book written down was Genesis and is attributed to Moses by biblical scholars, and it is the one that contains the creation account. The book of Genesis existed long before all the books were completed and compiled into what we now call the Old Testament.

Originally posted by DeepThoughtI found this on Mesopotamian creation myths but in this tract at least I don't see anything similar to the Egyptian one.

Originally posted by sonhouseBut still, we can all (?) agree to that the biblical legends has an origin pre-dating Abraham and Moses and the rest of the crew with thousands of years.

Originally posted by sonhouseThe Egyptians probably had more than one creation myth, polytheistic religions tend not to worry so much about inconsistencies. When you first mentioned the Egyptian myth I was wondering about it. That influence had faded by 500BC, the Hebrews returning from exile will have been more influenced by the Babylonians. Wikipedia isn't the worlds greatest source, but I think this page gives a reasonable description of mainstream thinking:

He is trying to put words in people's mouths, speaking to people on the street instead of looking at actual evidence and reading the papers. Another political based video. Why am I not surprised this is all you can come up with, asssholes trying to lead the interviewees?
