illiterate Hebrew sheep-herders sitting on hill-tops at night staring up at the stars.

Wow. God walked with Adam in the Garden. All was shred from the man HE created, and he passed down the things GOD shared with him. Illiterate? You lost all credibility with that snide comment.

Oh, by the way, God did not make mud then make man, he made man from dirt.

Now, go get your own dirt, Because He began with nothing.

Of course Moses was entirely literate, but his words were written for the benefit of all children of Israel, literate or not.

Sure, but what do you get when you add water to dirt?
Even illiterate shepherds knew that answer.
