There is no such thing as "Prehistorical"

[e v e 21]

According to science, the invention of writing is the dividing line between "prehistorical" and "historical."

But since Adam could write, there is no such thing as "prehistorical."

Genesis 5:1a This is the book of the generations of Adam.

the history you know is since the fall.

You cannot show, using DNA, a direct link to a particular individual. You can show a link to a particular population if that population has specific genetic markers. No, the dissimilarities are not enough to undermine the idea of a common ancestor. If they were, evolutionary biologist would have come up with another theory.

Is there a way one can tell what tribe a Jew is from specifically? or do they need the patriarch's DNA?

The idea that Adam wrote a book is a Mormon concept.

The book, "The Conflict of Adam and Eve" is a part of pseudepigrapha. They are books that attempt to imitate Scripture but that were written under false names.

I'm going to have to disagree with this.

I see and I stand corrected. - thanks

In other literature, it is also called the “Wiseman hypothesis” or "tablet theory".

Issues:

- It is an argument from silence. The Bible does not discuss the existence of clay tablets written by the patriarchs that were compiled by Moses.
- Mark insists that Moses wrote the Torah (Mark 12:26 )
- John makes the same assertion ( John 5:45-47 )
- Paul agrees with Mark and John too ( Romans 10:5 )

Why is this in a "General Science" forum? This discussion is not even close to a General Science topic.

Issues:

Moses translated the book of Genesis into Hebrew.

That's why it is considered one of the five "books of Moses".

Mark, John, and Paul are referring to Moses the editor, not Moses the author.

Why is this in a "General Science" forum?

Because it is a thread about the difference between "Prehistorical" and "Historical."

Moses translated the book of Genesis into Hebrew.

How do you back up the tablet translation assertion?

"And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD. And he rose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel." Exodus 24:4

Moses wasn't recorded as translating the "words of the LORD".

That's why it is considered one of the five "books of Moses".

Exodus 17:14 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven."

Numbers 33:1-2 "These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their goings out."

Mark, John, and Paul are referring to Moses the editor, not Moses the author.

How does one back up this assertion? Literary silence doesn't work.

Because it is a thread about the difference between "Prehistorical" and "Historical."

History is not a science or a scientific field of any sort.

QV please:

In this connection it is interesting to note that the Lord Jesus Christ used the name of Moses many times when referring to the Pentateuch, but never actually, so far as our New Testament records go, attributed Genesis to the authorship of Moses. This does not, of course, mean that we are not to understand that Moses was heavily involved in its production.

Luke 24:44 "He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”

Law of Moses - not Law of Adam.

No need to create a thread for this - it's literally your sig.

Cakes can't write.

Ad hoc better.
