Oh, there were many religious influences going on back then & the total gambit of human cultural exchanges were extremely complex, back & forth & many.Just as is the emergent complexity we see in the Universe you haven't the imagination to grasp, human cultures were always in a dynamic state of flux, exchange & information building with the observation of each other. Hebrews, later Christians & later still Islam weren't anything original, inventing "One God" is almost childlike, but that's what humans are. Few realize that the Persians did not evaporate but rose after to super power status again with the Sassanid king Shapur who dealt Rome two overwhelming defeats in 250ad. Capturing one of its emperors as a prisoner for life & 60,000 Roman soldiers as slaves. That dynasty became a major power that was unassailable in Iran, Iraq & Turkey and were extremely important in influencing everyone's history with their religion, laws of governing & organizational skills, leading all the way up to Mohammed. (better hope those populations are moderating, they dont like Christians as you well know, Iran going nuclear, bad idea..) Sasanian Empire en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org Like your limited knowledge of physics & chemistry, the inability to see how varied & complex human history is, the interplay between cultures mirrors that emergent complexity in nature. Information wasn't coming from some supernatural source,it was coming from 1000yrs of interplay between human cultures on terra firma. The secular movement exists to moderate you, if there's anything divine happening right now, that trend is to moderate religion is what's heaven sent . The thirst for knowledge.
