Me and my friends are literally shit tier in dota eight ? Like , low mmr , I ' m 1 k some are 2 k and we ALL practice in sandboxCasuals do use the systemEveryone in dota uses it because it ' s readily availableIt ' s funYou can try new things without getting flamed or losing mmrDon ' t make excuses for riot to put things off that the playerbase wants and needs <| sep |> i did just that lol <| sep |> So , a note about the author of that book Israel FinkelsteinIsrael is a great scholar and , by and large , does very good work . He is the father of the low chronology school of thought in Near Eastern archaeology these days . He doesn ' t really like taking textual data into consideration and really heavily emphasizes material culture . Basically , he likes to down date everything as a function of his low chronology views some of this stuff has been published in the journal Radiocarbon in the last few years . So , Israel doesn ' t represent the consensus , per se rather , he represents something close to the consensus , but something that from my perspective still has some issues . ucarbonatethejuice has more or less summarized what most Pentateuchal scholars feel about the formation of Genesis as well as other Pentateuchal textual traditions like Exodus . I think it ' s reasonable to conclude that there are historical kernels standing behind many textual traditions in the Hebrew Bible but then that these kernels were later expanded and all that kind of stuff to create the larger narratives and poems that wind up in the final form of the text . That is , I think there may have been a Moses person and that he wasn ' t just entirely made up but , he probably wasn ' t what we have in the text of Exodus .
