The only absolutely verifiable and objective Divine Revelation in history, on which all other claimants stand or fall!

I don't really follow the logic here. How is this absolutely verifiable? Generations after the fact, a book says an event happens. This event reinforces the nationalistic identify of being God's chosen people. How do we know what people of the time were thinking? What parent would deny or contradict the priests or holy writings? A single generation after the Torah was first used, the story would be self reinforcing. Any doubt would be silent or silenced. Fast forward to today, thousands of years after the fact, why does this account for absolute verifiability?

Did you read the article?

The point is that the story of the Revelation could not have been introduced later without being exposed as a fraud.

As ZC mentioned, the article shows that introducing it later would be an easily-detected fraud. Further, what you don't realize is that the more time which passed, the less unified the Jewish People were (generally speaking, there are some exceptions). Introducing such a claim at or near a time of partisan bickering would have resulted in someone getting stoned as a charlatan, not in the adoption of a new national myth.

Would you believe a story that only came to light now that an angel appeared at the Continental Congress, and again at the Constitutional Convention, in order to inspire the founders to revolt and structure our government a certain way? No, probably not. Why? Because you have never heard of such a thing, and it is soooo tall a tale that you WOULD HAVE heard about it before if it did really happen.
