These, I submit, are not the words of the scientist or the scholar, but of a religious prophet expounding to reveal the truth, and religion by definition rests upon faith, not proof, it is by definition not scientific. Can we really wonder, then, why so many scientists and scholars will not ...

The discussion of the religion of Ebla is rather brief, because of the comparative paucity of religious texts ... so far.
