      The only references in the Torah to infant #circumcision being a requirement are found in Genesis & Leviticus, and both of them were added by the priests only after the Babylonian Captivity. My statement is based on academic research into the drafting history of the Torah.

      Why the priests so revised the Torah is a good question, since child #circumcision on its face isn't something that could possibly have been decreed by a beneficent God. Likely they were cut themselves, & so thought all males should be, i.e., exactly what many cut men think today

      . Circular reasoning I have to admit if God had not specified circumcision I wouldn't have come up with the idea myself It doesn't explain why cultures other than Jews circumcise Or why epidemiological evidence shows public health benefits of circumcision

      In his book Marked in Your Flesh, anthropologist Leonard Glick explains (Chapter 1, footnote 6): "many Middle Eastern peoples, including the ancient Hebrews, genitally altered some boys or youths as a *custom*, [but] it was not until around 500 BC that the Judeans defined...

      ...circumcision as an *obligatory* ritual practice for *all* male *infants*." [* words indicate Glick's italics]. So modern biblical scholars say that first the priests were cut as custom or badge of their priesthood, and then they (not God) made it obligatory for all. #i2

      Until you can acknowledge Genesis 1:1-3 has been invalidated as being anything like an accurate account of the origins of the universe, I'm not falling into the trap of expanding on the information I've already given you, only to have you reject it b/c it contradicts the Torah.

      . The subject matter of Genesis and the Big Bang is precisely a mapping of known cosmology to the Creation account of the Torah

      So are we to pretend the Torah doesn't mean what it clearly says about the lifespans of everyone since Adam? Or are we to deny that the universe and everything in it could have been here for more than a few thousand years?
