→Contemporality of Judaism and Zoroastrianism: new section
:Indeed, claims that denigrate the written record of the history of Judaism and Christianity are common, and usually similar to what we have here. A text 700 to 800 years after the date that "scholars" claim it was written, but assumed to be from a much earlier time period based on estimates alone. So how does it help to have a text written in 600 B.C. when Abraham was born in 2000 B.C. and Moses was about 1500 B.C.? Well these same scholars have decided that the Bible was edited at a later date to fill in the information from Zoraster. Oh, the same scholars also believe that not only wasn't there an Abraham, but there wasn't even a Moses. Unless the name of our site has changed from Conservapedia to Wikipedia, it has no place here.

== Contemporality of Judaism and Zoroastrianism ==
Deborah is correct in that there are conflicting claims as well as the fact that most copies of the Avesta from far into the period A.D. The ''Gathas'' or religious songs which are of central liturgical and daily spiritual importance are ''believed'' to be the work of ''Zartosht'' or Zarathustra himself. However, this is a canonical tradition and not based upon carbon dating or archealogy as far as I have been able to determine.
The article should probably separate out the ''Gathas'' and explain them on their own and then name the various parts of the ''Avesta''. I would also insert a section or separate article about ''Zoroastrian Revival'' which is a growing current event in exile Iranian communities around the world. The conversion debate currently going on (between Indian Parsis and the more liberal Iranian ''Mobeds'') is also contentious and exiting as a subject.
