My point was NOT that this makes anything more "Divine", but against those that argue that "religion" is something entirely created from mankind's overly fertile imagination. Those people that argue, that much of the Laws laid out, in the Torah (or most any other Coda), are intrinsic the a decent humane society - that any group of humans that wanted to create a lasting and safe culture, would eventually create these same rules, and that the whole "G-d business" is just psychodrama mumbo-jumbo added on top, to get [primitive] societies to follow these rules, that are often inconvenient to the [strong-willed] individual (like theft - it's so much easier than actually working for one's possessions).

Many scholars like to show the similarities between the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi and those laid out in the Torah, using this to "prove" that the Torah is not Divine in origin at all, but rather a later redaction/adaptation of these Babylonian Laws, which of course is an unacceptable claim to us. It is laws like the Red Heifer, that lacking in any internal-logic that we can perceive, that I feel most threaten this type of "scholarship".
