So 2000 years ago they knew this. Its written in very old books. Then we had greed, bankers, wars, the dark ages, and lost it. Now we have evolved back to the point we were at in the past. It took us 2000 years to recover from evil tyrants and they look poised to do it again.

 

No....over 2000 years ago Israelites used the tetragram YHWH as a written place marker for their god, which also went by the name of Elohim or EL. The BCE Israelites had virtually no scientific knowledge as we know it, including genetics and DNA sequencing.

Yes, the Tanakh is a very old anthology of scripture containing myth, fable, legend, and some fact.

No, the Tanakh and its contents had been preserved over the millennia, the ancient names of god (YWEH, El, Elohim) were preserved by Jews over the many centuries. Greed, moneylending and usuary have been enduring features of human civilisation, right to this day....the only essential difference is technology improving on bean counting and the abacus.

No, humanity has evolved beyond where we were at in the past. Literacy, technological development, social development, replacement of monarchism with constitutional representative democracies have created societies able to achieve things that the ancients could not even imagine.

Retrograde movement towards the past (even a past golden age) is not evolution, but devolution.

Evil tyrants have also been an enduring feature of humanity since way before Biblical times...and it is likely, if allowed, to continue to be an enduring feature of human societal existence.
