... date earlier than the Babylonian captivity? Isn't that a little strange, considering that Moses lived hundreds of years earlier and supposedly wrote the Torah?

Not a Christian here.
But what would be the need of any. Religious Scriptures need not be any longer or go back any further than what is needed to carry a message.

Friend, not at all.
Much of the OT is based on the torah. And there remains debate about Moses having written all of it.
But even the torah is based on the most common form of communication; verbal pass-a-long. Father to son.
And the bible was not fully authored until the end of the First century, or very early second century.

Religion is religion and in religion anything goes.

I must admit, I'm extremely grateful that I didn't live in the neighborhood that was in the path of that wandering, invading, bronze aged desert tribe that purported to be "god's" people.
Imagine, seeing all the innocent neighboring young boys being killed, and all the young girls being dragged off to be the soldiers sex slaves.
And we are suppose to love a god that orders that?
There is nothing in this world that can suggest there is anything but pure evil in any sentient being that would order such an act.
