Sure, but only to you.

(Go ahead though and present your evidence that a butterfly can not only dream, but also has the mental capacity to dream something as complicated as existence).

Written by men, relying on their perception of a creator.

So written in I believe three different languages, by forty different people with different backgrounds, over 1500 years, and you think a few shrooms is all that is required?

What is required is the realization that humans are very creative, even thousands of years ago, for instance, it was just found cuniform math from Southern Iraq showed they knew Pythagorian math, triangles and such 1000 years before such developments in Greece.

Just saying humans are plenty intellegent and creative enough to have written all the religious texts on the entire planet for the last 10,000 years which of course would predate the creationist dates of minus 4004 and 3:32 pm as the age of the Universe and Earth. Gobekli tepe has been dated 6000 years older than the pyramids, an amazing find. All kinds of oddities about that place.

Common knowledge is not the same thing as a common theme throughout history binding together those that didn't know each other.

As important are the tasks of translation and how it was decided that this writing is to be included in the holy bible and that one isn't.

I am not talking about common knowledge, I am talking about creativity, the ability to write pertinent laws and mores and such one their own. I think humans fully capable of doing just that. Why would you think otherwise?
