 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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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.

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.
