The fact that the people knew it was don’t cook meat in milk rather than meat in fat, without being told by the text, might be start! Or the dozens of other cases like that!


I asked for sources in regard to your claim that the objective data shows that most of the Oral Law is even older than the Written Law (“You can look at the textual analysis and the archeological records, at which point, you must conclude that the majority of the Oral Law is OLDER than the written law.”). How does the above satisfy this? Is this claim about the people living before the Torah was written? What is the source for this claim?

Or the fact that the Written Law says you have to bind tefillin and the people reading that knew what tefillin even are in the first place - without a definition from the written law - might be a start!

Or what a mikveh is…

Or what exactly is prohibited on Shabbos…

Jeesh.

Again, are these sources supposedly proving that “the majority of the Oral Law is OLDER than the written law”? Or are these claims about post-Torah oral traditions, which did not necessarily correspond to the original intent?
