Today's "finding"? What ... did Wikipedia unearth Goliath's skeleton?

Sorry, there's no there, there.

You're focused on unknown and irrelevant minutiae.

If you do not wish to believe the Bible, fine ... that is certainly your prerogative ... but, claims of proving yourself right is just silly.

Re: “Whether Goliath was 6'9" or 9'9" was and is irrelevant. ”
I'm not criticizing David and Goliath. It's a good story. It's the Bible itelf as a historical and accurate record that I'm criticizing.

Today's finding that there is a three foot discrepancy in the various Bibles' descriptions of one of its best known characters proves that I was right when I said, "I describe it as a book of well intentioned parables not to be taken literally."

Hm. Or is it only the Old Testament that withers under scrutiny?
