False. This is an assumption based on the philosophy of evolution applied to religion in the 19th century by the proponents of the Documentary Hypothesis. Since that time, the presuppositions of the JEDP Theory, as it is also known have been largely superseded by evidence form the field of Archaeology, in relation to the development of religion. That is, facts and hard evidence have largely overtaken the ideas which had, even then, no factual basis in reality. Evidently the History Channel is still in the nineteenth century in terms of its evidence, although of course many people today still find this a convenient theory to adhere to.

What is a time capsule - a 4th grader question for maths?

Put simply - it's a container in which has been placed letters, pictures and drawings from a particular date. The 'capsule' is usually buried - to be unearthed some time in the future - giving people a 'snapshot' of history.


Limit as x approches -1 of x3 plus x2 plus 3x plus 3 divided by x4 plus x3 plus 2x plus 2?

lim (x3 + x2 + 3x + 3) / (x4 + x3 + 2x + 2)x > -1From the cave of the ancient stone tablets, we cleared away several feet of cobwebs and unearthed"l'Hospital's" rule: If substitution of the limit results in ( 0/0 ), then the limit is equal to the(limit of the derivative of the numerator) divided by (limit of the derivative of the denominator).(3x2 + 2x + 3) / (4x3 + 3x2 + 2) evaluated at (x = -1) is:(3 - 2 + 3) / (-4 + 3 + 2) = 4 / 1 = 1


Who discovered zero and how?

By the middle of the 2nd millennium BCE, the Babylonian mathematics had a sophisticated sexagesimal positional numeral system. The lack of a positional value (or zero) was indicated by a space between sexagesimal numerals. By 300 BCE, a punctuation symbol (two slanted wedges) was co-opted as a placeholder in the same Babylonian system. In a tablet unearthed at Kish (dating from about 700 BCE), the scribe Bêl-bân-aplu wrote his zeros with three hooks, rather than two slanted wedges. The Babylonian placeholder was not a true zero because it was not used alone. Nor was it used at the end of a number. Thus numbers like 2 and 120 (2×60), 3 and 180 (3×60), 4 and 240 (4×60), looked the same because the larger numbers lacked a final sexagesimal placeholder. Only context could differentiate them. Records show that the ancient Greeks seemed unsure about the status of zero as a number. They asked themselves, "How can nothing be something?", leading to philosophical and, by the Medieval period, religious arguments about the nature and existence of zero and the vacuum. The paradoxes of Zeno of Elea depend in large part on the uncertain interpretation of zero. The concept of zero as a number and not merely a symbol for separation is attributed to India where by the 9th century CE practical calculations were carried out using zero, which was treated like any other number, even in case of divisionThe Indian scholar Pingala (circa 5th-2nd century BCE) used binary numbers in the form of short and long syllables (the latter equal in length to two short syllables), making it similar to Morse code .He and his contemporary Indian scholars used the Sanskrit word śūnya to refer to zero or void.


Who were the authors of Genesis?

By tradition it was Moses, But the most likely truth was that it was reimagined and rewritten about 600 BC in Babylon sometime after the destruction of the temples. The most important clue is that much Babylonian myth was included in the rewrite. Thus the likely authors are the children of the Jews taken to Babylon as slaves.
