   Back-dating, e.g. Daniel,   
   appears to be a consenses of scholars   
   who approach texts with a critical eye.   
      
   Concepts evolved,   
   eventually, from animism to polytheism,   
   henotheism and monotheism which persisted   
   until an other method took its toll, having the hold   
   on thinkers who think using duality as axiomatic.

   Deborah might be among the oldest.   
      
   Not all works of literature, be they poetic or prose,   
   are necessarily factual nor historical by nature.   
      
   Mythologies can be fun, and problematic at times.

   Watching an interview recently, a thought   
   as to how, in the beginning, Elyon, aka Elohim,   
   created all things and then, on the seventh day,   
   rested. Then a son, the Tetragrammatcon by name,   
   began a form of recreation, with a garden party   
   which did not end very well in the beginning.   
      
   Supposedly the second story was older.   
   The first tale of creation was added later.   
      
   - thanks! Cheers!
