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.

>Somehow these got written down real well.

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.
