quote “Yes, some of the earliest info was orally transmitted”

well .. then we agree !

because the earliest info .. was the creation story!

The creation story HAD to of been passed down orally, and to a MUCH more primitive man than Moses, and certainly more primitive than us living here in the 21 century!

Heck even in Jesus’s time they were still talking about germs as “evil spirits” !!

Did Jesus know that germs were not “evil spirits”? absolutely ! But he had to talk to the people in a way THEY could understand!

The exact same way a scientist would adjust how he describes something very complicated to a child!

Astounding gibberish!

Adam was the most perfect, intelligent, and functional man that ever existed.

The human race has continuously degenerated to the disgusting mess that it is today, riddled with inherited disease, physical, and mental.

We are in serious need of our creator’s soon return.

Not necessarily more primitive than Moses.

Noah, for example, was a pretty smart guy to be able to organize the ship and the creatures which would inhabit it. (Let's see a modern day man do that!)

These guys apparently lived lives much longer than ours so didn't need written history; the span of history included in their lives would preclude much false information from being passed on.

In addition, the written histories which undoubtedly existed then were much closer to the time of creation than we are. Much was there which would have been accurate albeit one would still have to wade thru the filter of sin which might "revise" history much as the revisionists are still with us today. Moses would have had the discernment to sift out the the false from the true.

And I don't know where you get the idea that spirits were simply "germs". Do you think Jesus spoke to and cast out "germs"?
