>>508689991This is a circular conversation.
That's just when they wrote it down. Everything that went into it already existed. They did not invent what went into the talmud in 500 CE no matter how many times you suggest this. All of those commentaries already existed, either in oral or written form, prior to then. And this argument doesn't matter either way because, again, what was preached in synagogues was the Oral Torah, which was just commentaries on OT shit.
The only way your argument works is if you are also claiming the OT wasn't written after 500 CE. If you can't understand that, I can't help you.
