...expansion into Europe. By selling Gulfstream, 45% of its shares in the Japanese automaker Mitsubishi and other assets, Chrysler will generate more than $2 billion to add to its cash kitty of $2.2 billion.

Most believe the Israelites came about 200 years later, and then not as military conquerors but as a wave of immigrants. So the scholarly disputes over Joshua's military feats are likely to continue. In matters of faith, science can never provide the ultimate answers...
