I have met some who are uncomfortable with this theory because it doesn't rely on supernatural revelation from God to Moses for the material. It does imply supernatural preservation of the material for Moses to compile it, though. It also requires a supernatural inscription of Adams' "prehistory" on a tablet that was preserved for future generations and handed down to Moses. Exactly.

God did use human processes and chosen individuals who were recognized among their people as prophets with authority to bring the Bible into existence. Moses gets credit for the first 5 books quite correctly, but in somewhat the same way that he gets credit for building the tabernacle, or Solomon is described as building the temple. And of course even with Mosaic editing/authorship later prophets annotated the text in some places and sometimes updated the language or place names for clarity in later generations.
