Right. That’s why God, literally, dictated the Torah to Moses letter-by-letter.

How do you know? Were you there?

That’s why God, literally, dictated the Torah to Moses letter-by-letter.

Don't forget to mention that instead of God simply handing Moses a copy of the Ten Commandments printed on something actually impressive, like, etched in a slab of solid diamond, or carved in a plate of titanium, or some other durable material that would be extremely easy for God to produce by miracle, but would have been impossible for Moses to fake, instead of that, God insisted that Moses write down by hand whatever God told him orally, with Moses limited to writing with what he had at hand on the mountain, which was ... rocks. God insisted that the most important words he spoke for all time would be written down by Moses chiseling on ... rocks. Not platinum. Not polycarbonate. Not teflon or depleted uranium. Rocks. God thought that plain rocks would be best.

And if you even suggest that Moses might have just written down some laws that he figured would serve the Israelites well, after some prayer and (let's hope) divine inspiration, well, you're just going to burn in hell for all eternity, that's all there is to it.
