1ºand yes,man’s knowledge of the time..many barely ventured beyond their village or ‘area’….things like the great flood that wiped out life on Earth was merely a flood of one,or more of the Mideastern seas. The Burning Bush was likely caused by a campers negligence to put their campfire out. Parting of the Red Sea…caused by a tidal wave…or typhoon. Cmon..it’s all allegory…a bunch of stories,like folklore,handed down and told orally until someone decided to string them together. No one created a sphere and separated the ground from the water..or made a woman out of a bone,err…well maybe,if you really think about it in certain terms!! A nice story to help make sense out of the barely unknown.
