sorry, why does it make more sense that Genesis is older??
how can you say Moses probably acted as the editor of far older sources?
u lost me somewhee, so you're saying that the flood happened 500years before moses? that was under the egyptian empire which was at it's height between 1000-500bc? that's still 4000 years after the Gilgamesh epic (proven by a written clay tablet from that era)
and how can you possibly substantiate this?
"It is common to make legends out of historical events, but not history from legends. For instance, in Genesis, God’s judgment is just, he is patient with mankind for 120 years (Genesis 6:3), shows mercy to Noah, and is sovereign. Conversely, the gods in the Gilgamesh Epic are capricious and squabbling, cower at the Flood and are famished without humans to feed them sacrifices. That is, the human writers of the Gilgamesh Epic rewrote the true account, and made their gods in their own image."
I'm sorry writing was invented by the messopotamians 4,000bc - what the fuck are YOU talking about?
and then you start going off on tangents. You have an inability to talk about one thing.
idiot.
"All people groups remember a global Flood:" - and you can't just make stuff up!
