The intent of this article is to review topics that may evoke "giggles" in an elementary or high school, but to demonstrate that with the appropriate scientific explanation such topics can be transformed from highly skeptical to very credible. This article discusses three topics: Dovid's body coldness that occurred in his seventieth year; the lactation experienced by a poor widower and by Mordecai; and the concept of shinuy hatevah.
