Who are these MOST Mainstream Bible Scholars please? Who and how did someone calculated this please? Do we have sources and citation please? By doing so, are we recommending people about what to believe and what not? Also, Why can't we say what's Christian's belief of the book of Genesis? - Common... it's a Christian Book and not Mainstream Scholars Book! Praveen.arokyaswamy ( talk) 03:30, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
I don't think that the article needs the "Title" chapter, as the first paragraph already tells the reader to etmyology of Genesis. Feel free to tell me otherwise. Firesword9140 ( talk) 01:17, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
I have reverted an edit which is thoroughly WP:FRINGE, i.e. pseudohistory. tgeorgescu ( talk) 13:43, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
I just noticed and removed the following from the Composition section:
By comparing Dead Sea level indications in chapter 14 of Genesis Amos Frumkin and Yoel Elitzur suggest the composition dating between 1500 and 1200 BC. [1]
After checking the article out, I believe this is a misreading of the article. The study authors were attempting to use biblical evidence to determine historical fluctuations in the Dead Sea levels. I don't think they are making definitive statements about when biblical books were actually composed. I could be wrong, however, so I'm leaving this here for other editors to evaluate.
