Yup, my mistake. I read it wrong.

These are NOT baseless assumptions. Do you have any education in religious matters? Do you realize the number of gods in our human history and their evolving favor with humans from polytheism to monotheism? The evolving nature of religion from pagan to current day practices? The borrowing and sharing of religious holidays among the separate practices from pagan to modern religion? The branching off into newer religions like Jehovah's Witnesses to Lutherans, Baptist, Protestant, etc, etc. The actual correlation between Old Testament events and the ancient writings of the Sumerians of actual explainable events rather than the fantasied recordings of the bible?

As a matter of fact I do have education in these matters. I'm unfamiliar with how the Old Testament(which is NOT the Torah), relates to Sumerian writing, maybe you can expand on this. I also am aware that Science and the Torah do
NOTcontradict one another.

There is NO assumption that MAN is fallible and that primitive cultures created fantasies to explain the world around them. They only part you ARE correct on is that a god can neither be proven nor dispelled.

You misunderstand, my rebuttal was directed towards your "the bible was written by fallible men" statements, as your post is obviously factual.
