Quote:Yes, but that's so unlikely in the light of the Dead Sea Scrolls that it's all but proven by the co-existence of the 7 mss of the Dead Sea Scrolls of Daniel plus the MT and the Theodotion and the LXX versions of Daniel (that's four versions that we have - two in Hebrew/Aramaic, two in Greek) that the only possible conclusion is that it had to be authored well before the 2nd century BC.
I just have to ask. When do you think the DSS were written?
