Wow. Strange. I sort of remember that there was no neatly collected book for the first part of Jews' history. You would think that would give them a hint that it was all written afterwards...

This is actually the same view that exists among some Muslim fundamentalists about Koran. Some time during the reign of Mamoon [sp], the half Iranian Abasid Khalif, it became a heresy to hold such a view on the grounds that God must be the only thing that existed before the universe and those who believed Koran existed in some form from the start were sharing God's position with Koran. The fly in the ointment was of course that if you agreed Koran was a "creation" of God, then like all other creations it would be flawed as only God (i.e. the uncreated) is perfect.
