You are making a radical suggestion; that scriptures (or their &#x27;source material&#x27;) are the whole truth of how they themselves came to be rather than the end of a long process pre-dated by unknowable oral tradition.<p>Further that there is a &#x27;known timeline of the understanding of risks&#x27; -- IOW when, exactly, did humanity start to recognize some idea of cause and effect when it comes to disease.<p>You have to recognize that this is all impossible and it is perfectly legitimate to say &#x27;I don&#x27;t know how this happened but here is a plausible scenario&#x27;.<p>To say &#x27;oh yes, this knowledge is out there and perfectly knowable&#x27; is quite radical.
