Debater Asserts Ugaritic Texts Prove Cloud Riding Predates Bible

Daniel argued that the biblical imagery of Jesus as cloud rider in Daniel 7 borrows from ancient Baal mythology documented in Ugaritic texts dating to 1300-1200 BCE, predating the Old Testament. William challenged him to read the actual Ugaritic texts during the debate and argued that even if pagan deities claimed cloud-riding, Yahweh is the original and Baal a counterfeit. The exchange highlighted competing views on the origin of biblical symbolism and whether divine attributes claimed in scripture are borrowed or original.
