Absolutely not, I 100% agree.

To your point about who borrowed from who - one of my favourite examples is the story of Noah's Ark, or less specifically, "The Great Flood". So many religions and mythologies have a Great Flood story. It's fascinating to see how similar or different certain people's recounts were of historical events like that.

Like I say, at this point in my life I'm still of the opinion that a good chunk of the Bible means well, but who knows? One of these days I might run out of sci-fi novels to read and go cover to cover, old testament to new. It's certainly possible my mind might yet change.
