You obviously missed my posts about Enoch.
It was written in 300BC according to the self proving details.
Obviously not written by Enoch.
It is incompatible with the Bible.
It contains impossible people.
It was obviously rejected by those in charge of the Old Testament Canon.

I miss lots of things.

If you have a post where you go into all of that in more detail, please send me a link.

Thanks.

Let's take a look at Daniel.
From what I understand, the information contained from the book of Daniel comes from two different sources, one for the first part of the book, and one for the latter part of the book, and with both sources supposedly from circa the 2nd century BC.
Daniel lived in the 6th century BC, so where do you think the 2nd century manuscripts came from?
Were they the original writings, or were they more likely copies from earlier writings?
The same holds true for the 3rd century BC manuscript for the book of Enoch; more likely not being the original copy.

ROFL
Daniel is part of the Canon. It was included because of its importance as a prophetic work by the Jews in antiquity.. It is part of the Old Testament Canon. The Old Testament Canon comes down to us from several paths. Some fragments date to before 2000 BC. Your dating of the complete book of Daniel text is meaningless since it took several paths to create the text of it today. I guess you think we should have the original copy of the Torah!! The Bible is unique in ancient texts. There are several thousand texts and fragments of texts that have been found dating back to before Christ. Jesus even quoted them.

The writings of Julius Caesar only have a couple hundred. Get your head out of your rear.
