The Tower of Babel is the allegorical account of the great migration from Mesopotamia. Prior to that they shared a common culture and heritage.No, ding.. There were Natufians in Jericho and the Levant 14,000 years ago. They didn't all migrate from Mesopotamia unless you think the Tower of Babel is real history??
I don't know if that's accurate. Maybe more accurate to say Judaism was the first organized, monotheistic religion that we know of. Surely plenty of people had decided for themselves that there was only one, dominant God before the Jews wrote such a thing down.So the Jews were the first monotheists, right?

Hmm, no, I don't think anyone could ever say with any certainty that Abraham was the first monotheist. Maybe he was, dunno.Yeah... that guy was Abraham. And that account was passed down orally.
There's a written account that says he is. Are you aware of any other written accounts that make that claim?Hmm, no, I don't think anyone could ever say with any certainty that Abraham was the first monotheist. Maybe he was, dunno.
So what? there is a written account that said Muhammed flew to heaven on a horse.There's a written account that says he is.
Some are returning to the theory that the universe has always been here. No Big Bang. Everything was always here. No beginning. No end.Evolution explained

We are discussing the first monotheists. You don't seem willing to attribute Judaism as the source of the first monotheists. Even though you have no basis for not accepting this.So what? there is a written account that said Muhammed flew to heaven on a horse.
"I lifted a car with my pinky!"
And now there is a written account that I lifted a car with my pinky.
Right, because it may not be true. Others may have decided earlier that there is one dominant god above all others. They would meet the definition of monotheists.You don't seem willing to attribute Judaism as the source of the first monotheists.
Wow, that's some messed up logic. According to that logic nothing is ever true.Right, because it may not be true. Others may have decided earlier that there is one dominant god above all others. They would meet the definition of monotheists.
No, according to that logic, we cannot claim to know things we do not actually know. I can see how a faither would miss such a simple idea, given that violation and ignorance of it is central to your magical paradigm.Wow, that's some messed up logic. According to that logic nothing is ever true.
Cool story. So which was the first known monotheistic religion?No, according to that logic, we cannot claim to know things we do not actually know. I can see how a faither would miss such a simple idea, given that violation and ignorance of it is central to your magical paradigm.
Perhaps Muhammad flew to heaven in a UFO.So what? there is a written account that said Muhammed flew to heaven on a horse.

Sorry, does not argue that its followers or its founder were the first monotheists. 3 times now.Cool story. So which was the first known monotheistic religion?
No, it was identified as a winged horse.Perhaps Muhammad flew to heaven in a UFO.
So, your answer is the Jews?Sorry, does not argue that its followers or its founder were the first monotheists. 3 times now.
7. The warning that Eisenhower provided need be recalled in connection with the following:
In 2007, physicists Steven Weinberg addressed the “Beyond Belief: Science, Religion, Reason, and Survival” conference. This Nobel Prize winner claimed “Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion.” He was warmly applauded.
What was the religious provenance of poison gas, barbed wire, high explosives, experiments in eugenics, Zyklon B, heavy artillery, napalm, nuclear weapons?
What did Christopher Hitchens write…” God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything!”
Well, then how do with reconcile science with abortion, fetal stem-cell research, euthanasia, infanticide, cloning, animal-human hybrids, among the other ‘gifts’ of science, an ideology bereft of any sense of responsibility to human nature.
