I've talked about this before; Moses ripped off a lot of stuff from other cultures when he wrote the first parts of the Old Testament. There are very distinct parallels between the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Great Flood myth. Since he was present in the Egyptian court for the first chunk of his life, he would have had access to the libraries that contained this literature.

Aside from that, Vince, you claim that the Old Testament was passed down orally for more than 7000 years (Moses = approximately 1000 BC) before it was written down doesn't prove a lot. Please, cite your source that gives concrete proof this occurred and that it was written down EXACTLY the way it had been told.
