Lady Atheist: PBS Nova: The Bible's Buried Secrets (a review)

Lady Atheist: PBS Nova: The Bible's Buried Secrets (a review): " they take up leads that seem to confirm Biblical stories then look for further confirmation. Often they find interesting disconfirmation.

Right off the bat, they dismiss Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy and Numbers as myth. They also point out that they are so full of discrepancies that they couldn't have been written by one person (i.e., Moses), more likely five. Not to mention, Moses couldn't have described his own death. Incredibly, nobody pointed this out (publicly at least) until the eighteenth century. They do get back to these books at the end, which I found to be a kind of cool denouement to the story."
