...but how?

We just don't know."

Yes we do.

"Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." (II Peter 1:21)

There is something very important in this verse.
prophecy never had its ORIGIN in the WILL of MAN, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

The origin of Genesis did not come from Moses, and the purpose of Genesis was not to further Moses's will.

I'm not trying to argue with you. I'd like for us Christians to do a lot less of that. I'm also not wishing to be disrespectful. If I'm coming across that way, I apologize.
