The main difference to be noted even before the timeline comparison is that Judaism is a monotheistic religion in that it believes in one God as creator and ruler of the universe and the lord of human history. Hinduism is a religion of many Gods, some decent and some evil but all worthy of the respect of human beings. Hinduism does believe in one force, Brahman from which everything in the universe came and to which everything in the universe shall return.…
