The birth of religion started from a simple concept humanity's inability to explain the unexplainable until one added gods to the equation. A Jewish Hebrew scholar not knowing about prior pagan religions and their gods, rituals and stories--would have been like a history teacher today not knowing about history, or a math teacher not knowing about math, or a professor of law not knowing about the law. Because in the end all are considered scholars within their field. The problem we have here (which is the core of this book) is that these prior ancient civilizations, pagan religions, gods, beliefs, rituals, and stories were born out of mythology, folklore, and fairytales, passed down from generation to generations by oral traditions. These myths became the backbone of Judaism and Christianity's belief structure for over two thousand years that even today in 2018 United States Presidents have invited this ideology into the White House.
