Noah invented wine and cursed the son who had seen him drunk and naked. There was no \"coat of many colors\" in the story of Joseph and his jealous brothers, but rather a long-sleeved robe. Moses didn't write the Torah and he didn't part the Red Sea in his escape from Pharaoh. The Sixth Commandment does not condemn all killing. Jericho's walls may have tumbled down because the city lies on a fault line. King David probably didn't kill Goliath and didn't write the Psalms. | \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“When it comes to enlivening the Bible, Ken Davis is the real miracle man.
