Then you're getting your information from very biased sources...most of which are trying to prove a claim they already believe.

Did you even take a minute to look at the subs I mentioned? Or are you just going to assume they're biased because it mentions "Bible" in the name?

"Academic Biblical Studies is a field just like any other in the humanities, with practitioners from many different backgrounds, both religious and non-religious. Published literature has undergone peer review in line with standard academic practices." - written in bold on the sidebar

And here's their 2020 survey report, also in the sidebar. Lots of good stuff in here, such as a quarter of the sub being atheist. Not to mention, to become a contributor on that sub, you have to verify being a scholar in a related field. Even then, there's plenty of disagreement among scholars about how things are meant to be interpreted.

I would very much like sources and specifics on this.

This is the main source, but this entire FAQ talks about Genesis.

Also, the Bible clearly says many people lived far beyond the lifespan possible for a human. Do you believe that or not? If you don't, why??

No, I don't believe it to be true. This post from the FAQ, from r/askhistorians, goes into why.

Also, how do you reconcile that approach with a Bible that claims several times that the words within it are true and taken directly from God:

Same thing as anything else. The book is written by humanity, not God, and there can be an argument for divine inspiration but I'm still skeptical about claims of this happening.

There's actually no archeological or historical evidence that the Hebrews were enslaved in Egypt or wandered the desert. That's all a myth. You can look it up if you want.

I'm aware, but I was not talking about Egypt here.
