Since neither God nor Jesus would expect us to literally and unquestionably place our faith in what men have passed down in remembered stories for thousands of years, I chose not to do so.

Somehow these got written down real well. The others didn't.

Thousands of years before writing existed?

It even goes to issues other than writing. Early man understood quantities as 1, 2 and many.

Then came 1-10 (fingers), then the advanced decimal system we now use.

But early Biblical stories refer to the ages people in the high hundreds, many centuries before either writing or numerical understanding existed.
