When we look at archaeology, one of the oldest concepts about history is the tale of Enuma Elish. What would determine that there would be a story of creation before this one, the anthropological concept determines that factors of the daily life of human beings are transformed in later times into mythological tales. These mythological tales have the function of expanding human achievements or actions. Thus, the mythology of Enuma Elish would come from a real story, told from father to son.
Since the tale of Enuma Elish involves many mythological stories, and is determined by a very mystical concept, then it would be impossible to consider that this tale was actually a fact.
When we talk about history, we can accept in the common concept the existence of Abraham, who would come from Ur of the Caudeus. We can analyze that this really happened, observing the genetic analysis of the Jewish people, we have that the mitochondrial chromosome determines that the origin of the Jewish people is from the Mesopotamian region, determining that the logic of a man coming from Mesopotamia, and going to the region close to the Nile, is a fact. And so this man would be Abraham.
In this way we have a biologically proven fact, that a man would come from the region of Babylon and arrive in the region of Egypt, and would form a people, in which the mitochondrial chromosome from the region of Mesopotamia was preserved.
So we could call this man Abraham, who would be the disseminator of the mitochondrial chromosome to the Hebrew population, which would later form the Jewish population.
Thus we have the connection between the origin of life and the planet, from the previous tales to the mythology of Enuma Elish. In this way we can imagine that the Hebrews had in their minds the concepts of the origin of life on earth. And in this way we can keep in mind that people created imaginations about what was not reported in creation.
As the connection with the higher entity is directly in people's thoughts, these questions tend to generate the need for revelation on the subject.
A scientist constantly seeks an answer to his doubts, these doubts force the need for an answer, this answer tends to come when the person searches with all his heart for an answer. An ancient text says "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For he who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it will be opened."
In this way of thinking, we have to say that the search for information in a humble way and accepting the answers tends to be the mechanism for the higher entity to show reality. This is the first point for the production of the Bible, the desire to know the truth.
