30:35 – Did Yahweh have a girlfriend who also fooled around with Baal and perhaps other gods? Is this one reason the Bible insists that he is a jealous god? And what does it have to do with cutting down trees or knocking down totem poles? Dave in Kentucky has the answers. (The purported answers, anyway.)

30:14 – The Great Flood did not rid the world of giants, any more than it rid the world of normal-sized humans. After the Nephilim came the Anakim, the Emim, the Horim, the Zamzummim, the Avim, and God knows how many other plus-sized races or tribes. King Og of Bashan, with his thirteen-and-a-half-foot bed, was thought by Moses to have been the last of the giants, but we know that Goliath came along later. The Bible provides the information; Dave in Kentucky provides the commentary.

30:14 – Why did the Levites live in the inner city while their sheep lived in the suburbs? Why were Hebrew heiresses forbidden to marry men from other tribes? When were the first sanctuary cities established, and which homicide suspects were provided safe haven in them? The answers to these and other questions are here in this podcast.

28:12 – After helping the Israelites conquer the Midianites, the Yahwelians received tribute which included thirty-two Midianite virgins, without blemish. Why? Strange. Hey, why do you think they call it booty? And it’s not like they hadn’t mated with earth women before, notably in Genesis 6. Also: cultural destruction and ethnic cleansing of the Canaanite peoples, the laying out of the borders of Israel, and a recap of the main events of the Exodus.

28:52 – After Moses is told he will die soon, without ever setting foot in the Promised Land, he deals harshly with the women and children taken prisoner in the Midianite campaign. He would have dealt harshly with the Midianite men, too, but these had already been exterminated by Phineas the Impaler.

29:41 – Why does Numbers 23:19 point out that the Elohim are neither men nor sons of men? Isn’t that redundant? Well, not necessarily. What does the fact that Jesus is both the son of God and the son of man imply? Did the Israelites engage in human sacrifice as well as animal sacrifice? Dave in Kentucky provides answers, and speculates about the existence in ancient times of two competing alien races, the Yahwelians (natch) and the Baalites.

29:41 – Were the “fiery flying serpents” with six wings who attacked the Israelites angels or jet planes? How did a snake on a pole heal the victims of these attacks? Why did the World Health Organization, the American Medical Association and numerous other medical groups adopt this symbol as their own? What’s the difference between the Rod of Asclepius and the Caduceus? Why did Balaam’s ass see the angel (malach) in the middle of the road while Balaam did not? Who or what made the ass speak? Dave in Kentucky speaks from a similar source as he suggests answers to these and other questions.

29:36 – The Yahwelians rig yet another miracle by means of their superior scientific knowledge, but they leave some clues indicating how they did it. Dave in Kentucky attempts to solve what Erle Stanley Gardner might have called The Case of the Blossoming Rod. Also: Did the Levites live high on the hog on the public dime? Why did the Edomites hold a grudge against the Israelites? Why were Moses and Aaron denied access to the Promised Land? Et cetera.

30:12 – Are the Anakim, Nephilim, Watchers and Anunnaki all branches of the same family tree? Do giant tools imply giant tool-users? Does Dave’s falsetto voice remind you of a Monty Python skit? Why send out spies if you’re not going to believe their reports? Is gathering firewood on the Sabbath deserving of the death penalty? Which is more deadly, a sinkhole or a death ray? Dave in Kentucky tells you what he thinks, and all he asks is that if you don’t like his answers, just please don’t kill the messenger.
