When mankind began to spread over the earth and formed into different nations, their history and stories of old would be past down from one generation to another. But as generations past, those stories would change and grow and become exaggerated, etc. So you would eventually have different civilizations believing different things about God- although they would share common themes because they did all originate from the same facts (i.e. stories of a Great Flood).
So God chose a group of people (the Hebrews) to reveal himself to, to keep the real facts straight, etc. In this way, we have the accurate truth being preserved at the same time as different variations of the truth were being passed down and continually morphed.
What do you think about this theory? I'd like to hear from Christians who know their apologetics, as well as the thinking non-believer who does not feel this idea could be plausible and explain why. I hope a get a lot of answers. Thanks!
