So it wasn't even sophisticated by the measure of the times. For the time/place, yeah it was kinda OK for a semetic goat-herder, but realistically these are myths adopted by clergy from older civilisations' clergy. The goat-herders were just the dupes. Since that clergy thing got started anyway. And it's not created from a vacuum either. There's a fairly clear evolution of the religion from older religions and myths. Hell, judaism wasn't even monotheistic before (can't remember, but think it was about) 700BC. The jewish books weren't literally fixed until about the 11th century AD. In other words, they kept changing things to match what they now knew. THAT's a religion I could respect. If only they hadn't gone with the scripture idea. Al
