>It is dated to be at least 600 B.C.
I believe that Daniel was written during the captivity, ~350 years before the one-horned goat. Before that, we have the Psalms by King David, the first five books by Moses, and Job, the oldest book, perhaps 3,000 years ago. Do you think the the Living God would leave anything out?

The article is about the secular one, not the religious one, which ascribes the first five books to Moses.
Secular historians use archaeology, and in this case writing analysis, as well as literary analysis to try to determine the age of various parts of the Bible.
I don't think the Bible actually says that Moses wrote the first five books, it's more folklore.
>and Job, the oldest book, perhaps 3,000 years ago.
Um, ~4,000 years ago or more, sorry.
