One of the funnier moments I ever had in Bible class was reading in
Exodus that Moses was the most humble man who ever lived. What made
it so funny was that Moses is the author of that book.

The Bible was not written by it's characters. Hell we don't know how
many of them even existed, let alone whether they could read or
write!

Assume none of them as a good starting point. Add them in as you find
actual evidence. So far we have a few Romans and the odd Egyptian.

This could turn into a long sidebar, but I just want to know how many
reporters were there when Adam and Eve were created.

That's actually my bad. I forgot that nothing that casually references any
fragment of religion can be mentioned in this group without it becoming a
landing ramp for atheist soapboxes.

I mean, seriously, people. Give it a rest. It was meant to be funny. It
wasn't meant to be a friggin' scholarly talking point.

Yes, we understand. Only people who believe in the supernatural are
permitted to voice their views here. Anyone else is on a soapbox. We
get it.
