To some extent, either account of Canaanite-style worship among the Israelites works. In my version, they were given the Law and broke it anyway; in my version, the Law was a backformation that they had never fully followed. Either way, it's a different story from 2,000,000 people making a complete break with historical religion, which is what I thought was your evidence for divine revelation.
I think Jesus probably accepted Moses' authorship of the Torah. Haven't we already established that I'm enough of a heretic that I think Jesus could have gotten his history wrong? :-)
