And the basis for calling the comments “nonsense” would be what? Would you care to explain? You must accept his overall thesis to believe they are speaking of two different events separated by thousands of years. The thesis must be strong enough to discount/explain all the obvious parallelisms between the two texts.
Ask him to articulate the thesis which requires us to believe they are two different events.
