1000bc ???
You obviously do not know your ancient history.
Egyptians' hieroglyphics go back 5000 years and beyond. The Sumarians left us 'cunniform' writing dating from 6000bc.
Go to the library and crack open some books on ancient history...or, try 'googling'.....
By the way.....much of the Hebrew Scriptures writings can be traced back to the " Epic of Gilgamesh"( 6000bc) ....( google)
Finally, do not swallow whole any Christian teaching when it purports to be "truth". What is truth for one is a lie for another.

Exactly. Which is why the original basis for a late date of Genesis authorship is mistaken. Please do not attribute to me the "higher" critics' ignorance of these facts that you have listed. Their ignorance was the original basis of a late date of Genesis authorship, which you accept.

hmmm. If "what is truth for one is a lie for another" then how can that statement itself be true?

Cordially,
