*Good Question -What are the origins of Sumerian, Babylonian, and every other belief? If the Torah is of the One, then there is a simple explanation. From whose loins did all mankind descend? Adam was the original, and there is evidence that the Noahidic Laws were revealed to him, before we named them after Noah. After the Noahidic flood, mankind began once again, and the evidence is that the Law of God was restated, and renewed. Therefore, is there any question as to where the Sumerians, Babylonians, or the ancient Chinese understandings were derived? Everyone and every understanding descended from Adam, and then once again from Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japeth. Some understandings and/or names were confused or obfuscated over time, and yet all will be reconciled.
