A very insightful philosophical and historical review of the Torah's origins. Given that information is missing we resort to speculation to fill in the gaps. This is imperfect but necessary reality. Judaism is not unique in this regard. The Christian Bible is an amalgamation of historical facts, fiction, political infighting, linguistic translations, and cultural editing. As with all beliefs, the main element is faith and a conviction that man's purpose is to make the World a better place. We still have a long way to go.
