Actually, he is right. The oldest "known" text does not have that story, it started appearing much later.Some people like Pocket think it was never there to start with since it is not in our oldest copy but it could be that it was in older copies that were destroyed, warn out exc. and it was looked over by mistake or some other reason during the oldest known copies we have. Oral tradition would have remembered the story and brought it back. I honestly can not remember where I learned this from but a few years back I was big into studying the history of scripture and I did learn this also. Its always brought up by atheists who want to disprove the bible.I hate it when I agree with Pocket
