Skin of My Teeth
by WhatshallIcallmyself inan evidence for divine origin that has often been used (at least to me) is where job describes "...escap[ing] with the skin of my teeth".

i was reminded of this at this weeks meeting when this verse was quoted but was surprised when a commenter said how it wasn't necessary to mention this in light of other "evidence" in the bible.
