Don't people who become "learned" on the subject do so by reading these old texts?
The texts are old but put this into your own life. Imagine you had family that came over with Christopher Columbus, then the story is told family to family for hundreds of years, then you write it down. Do you think what you wrote down will be exactly what the person said and went through so many hundreds of years ago?
My example doesn't even include the next 1500 years.
You're assuming that the text in question was the first. How would you go about proving that? I see it as simply the oldest found and probably not the first.
It is not even the oldest found. What it is is the oldest copy of the bound Bible. In other words, somebody went through the known manuscripts and copied them all down and bound them together in the form of a book.
I don't understand why the hypersenstitive types get on here and talk about religion. If your feelings are hurt find something else to do, let the grown ups talk.
