My main argument rests in the idea that if Adam and Eve were indeed the first humans, then they knew there was only one God, for they walked with Him in the Garden. They definitely would’ve passed that belief on to their children. We see evidence of this in the story of Cain and Able offering their sacrifices to that same God. As time progressed Polytheism would’ve crept in, especially in the post diluvian world, where we see a lot of evidence of polytheism in the nations that rose to power during that time.
There is evidence of monotheistic beliefs and practices in ancient Egypt, for example, where pharaoh Akhenaten established worship of the sun-disk Aten as the sole god in the mid-14th century BCE. Similarly, the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism, which dates back to the 6th century BCE, features the worship of a single god, Ahura Mazda.
But akhenaten changed it from the polytheistic pantheon after zoroastrianism began around 1500 B.C. as I said in my post you replied to in the first place.
I would agree with you in that any early post diluvian civilization would be heavily polytheistic. But would you agree that this era is not the beginning of Human history? Almost all of these ancient civilizations speak of a catastrophic flood where only a few survived. That much is historical.
many "polytheists" understood their various gods as various expressions of one original source. early ancient egyptians had this understanding, but it was not preserved.
Nut is a daughter of Shu and Tefnut. Her brother and husband is Geb. She had four children; Osiris, Set, Isis, and Nephthys. She is considered one of the oldest deities among the Egyptian pantheon, with her origin being found in the creation story of Heliopolis. She was originally the goddess of the nighttime sky but eventually became referred to as simply the sky goddess. Her headdress was the hieroglyphic of part of her name, a pot, which may also symbolize the uterus. Mostly depicted in nude human form, Nut was also sometimes depicted in the form of a cow whose great body formed the sky and heavens, a sycamore tree, or as a giant sow, suckling many piglets.
Doesn't seem that way to me. Egypt for example.

There is no way to confirm this hebrew tale though. It's not historical.
How about Enoch? Do you think he was a Historical figure?
Doubtful. An antediluvian mythical figure?

Not much history to be had going back that far is there?

At least they didn't make the blunder of a male god with no female counterpart to get it on with:

I don't think I consider that to be a blunder. found the polytheist?
It's like the big bang but it's the giant jerkoff by the massive masturbator.
