Greeker, I did not press the Documentary hypothesis as such, though I note in one place my wording implied it, but simply addressed the fact that different portions of the Torah use different terms for God, are written in differing styles, use differing imagery, and have different focuses of what is most important to convey from a given story. For all of me, that could have been partial copies of Moses's writings handed down and copied in four different places and then reunited. I'm not pushing that hypothesis as such; I'm merely illustrating that the "P" style tells the story of Creation, and then the "J" style tells the story of Adam and Eve, picking up right where "P" leaves off.
I feel that an argument for or against plenary inspiration, the documentary hypothesis, etc., is inappropriate for the forum and topic we're in. But I did feel that giving kindlychung the rudiments of the hypothesis was helpful in resolving the question asked. I don't feel either of us appropriately should be presenting our manmade theories about the authorship of Scripture here -- and both theories are in fact of human origin, as your account of the origins of fundamentalism makes clear.
