I beg to differ. The most recent, conservative scholarship shows that there is extremely strong evidence that Moses edited the clay tablets created by "eye-witness" authors. This is NOT JEPD...this is partially based on the scholarship of P.J. Wiseman. And this in no way impinges on the plenary inspiration of the Scriptures. I would be happy to point you to the research, but right now I am at the office and I don't have the information in front of me.
By the way, this is the part of the doctoral dissertation on Genesis that I am currently working on. It is, admittedly, not a widely held position, but the evidence is very strong, and very exciting. It shifts the authenticity question to much earlier to the actual events recorded in it.
Perhaps we are in a linguistic impasse ... You seemed to assert that Genesis was written by an eyewitness, one of Noahs sons. And I am saying that is impossible ...
My assertions are as follows:
1. Moses wrote Genesis (well documented fact).
2. The events in Genesis predate Moses by ... well, a long time.
3. Therefore, Genesis was not written by eyewitnesses.
Now, if you are saying Moses may have used written sources that were actual eyewitness accounts ...
That I would agree with ... its possible ...
