In a world which has atomic bombs, and has used them on populations much bigger than Canaanite cities, it's a little precious to hear physicists like Krauss moralising about biblical wars. The dead children of Hiroshima and Nagasaki want a physicist to explain the "beauty" of science.
War is hell. There is tons of it in the bible. And there's a LOT more to come.
Every time we see war and violence in the bible, it is started by humans. And God only intervenes to bring it to a hasty conclusion.
BTW - the Israelites who invaded Canaan, were they the same Israelites who bible skeptics claim NEVER left in an exodus from Egypt?
