Hi George

Jesus told fictional tales; would you classify them as 'lies'?

These are in a clear context which allows the reader to understand that these are illustrations. With Qohelet we are talking about an entire book.

Also, nobody believes Robinson Crusoe to be the author of the work of fiction bearing his name and there is no spiritual tradition that makes such a claim (or maybe there is some kind of Robinson Crusoe religion out there).

As it stands your theory comes across as an attempt to make a conspiracy theory on the dating of Qohelet more palatable to believers.
