 Hidden 'fingerprints' found in the Bible rewrite the story of the Ark of the Covenant
Story by Stacy Liberatore For Dailymail.com • 1h

Scientists have uncovered hidden patterns in the Bible that challenge ancient beliefs about its origins.

Using artificial intelligence, they discovered 'fingerprints' in text throughout the Old Testament, suggesting multiple people wrote the stories.
 
The traditional Jewish and Christian understanding is that Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament, including stories about creation, Noah's flood and the Ark of the Covenant.

The new study found three distinct writing styles with distinct vocabulary, tone and focus areas, suggesting multiple authors and sources contributed to the books over time.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Old news, and it didn't take AI to find it.  German textual criticism found evidence of multiple authors for the Pentatuch in the 19th century.

And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

I'd say there was one original author for the Pentateuch and multiple different transcriptions and translations.
When the symbol of anti-government resistance is your national flag then your government is the enemy of your nation.

Right, but wrong. Nothing can be proven, because every scribe adds and takes away, even in just the style and interpretive choices. Likewise the accusation that Moses could not have written in his own death. Well, of course he couldn't. Doesn't mean that one of his sons couldn't have picked up a pen and wrote an addendum...

As a fan, I think Contexual and Textual Criticism are often too big for their britches, Jussayin.
