Re: [Cz-L] Our origin.King David was a biblical king. Not history.
  As such he could have had red eyes and blue hair or any other feature.

Cornel,

Ah, but you forgot about exponential growth!
King David lived in 1040-970 BC or about 3000 years ago.
Assume a generation to be 30 years.
Then since his lifetime there have been about 100 generations.
Assume king David had 2 children, actually he had many more.
If each of his children had two children, and if these, also had
two children and so on, then the number of descendants of king David
after 25 generations or 750 years, would have been 33,554,432.
Since there were not over 33 million Jews in the year 220 BC, it follows
that all Jews at that time were already descendants of king David.
All the more so in our time.
