So as evolution is true, so it is true that the source origins for your religion, theology & cosmology descends down from Meopotamian, Assyrian, Egyptian, Babylonian, Persian & the Greeks. The Elphantine Papyrii only add the most clear admission of this late stage polytheism, which is simply all we need to know.
One god or many, well one god would be appropriate for a beaten down group of rag tag impoverished tribes. This emerging "law" demanding only one temple in one sacred city is a feature of many countless religions we have seen litter the landscape since the beginning of time. This couldn't be more stategically Darwinian, of centralizing control, creating unity (protection in organized numbers) by commanding obedience thru an entire array of psychological gambits, from fear to religious ecstacy.
All religions have this same basic Evolutionary function, did you think you were so special? |
