Impossible. The Bible is made up of old wives tale by an evil patriarchal society.

The business about myths was destroyed when ancient Sumerian texts were unearthed and translated a century ago.

Many of the Bible stories that had been hypothesized as arising out of an "Hebrew oral tradition" were now seen as coming from the same tradition as the world's earliest written documents.

I didn't know anyone was still arguing for the myth thing.

errr... what's the veracity of the Bible got to do with this? The Old Testament starting from Abraham is historically accurate and very verifiable even to modern day archaeologists(Genesis of course deals with pre-history!)
