Fine. Lets do it your way.
Cranky always agrees with God
A=B
You don't agree with God
B=/=C => you end up burning in Hell for the whole eternity.

Read my posts if you want to comment on them and try to understand them. The divine deeds that are described in the old testament like GOD sending illnesses and destroying cities is stuff we can do today.

I am familiar with materialistic explanations of Biblical phenomena. However, if you really read the Biblical accounts, such explanations don't really hold up. Plus, there is actual archaeological evidence that all that stuff really happened - such as the discovery of
Sodom and Gomorrah, where science confirms that these two cities were destroyed by the wrath of God, and not some random geological events!

We are getting abilities that if presented to someone at the age at which Jesus was born must appear godlike. That implie that the thing that is described as GOD in the old testament is in fact not an allmighty being, but just someone like an different version of CrankyOldMan,

I'll take it as a very high complement for Cranky.

who had all the technological opportunities of an even more advanced civilization, who decided to impress some primitives with his advanced gadgets, so he could a nice ego boost from being worshipped.

Wait, wait, what??? Are you implying that aliens did it?

As far as all the woman inferiority stuff goes: well, that version of CrankyOldMan (COM) was horny and wanted to have some fun in his old days, so he set up his own private harem to have woman available whenver he felt the desire to, you know, do it. That's why they are little more than objects in the bible.

A short answer from both Christian and scientific points of view: no.
Christian point of view explanation you know already, because we've been pounding it on this website for a long time.
Scientific point of view explanation would go into long and completely wrong diatribe about the development of agriculture as related to patriarchalism and gender inequalities, resulting in religious beliefs adjusted accordingly.
