Right, the real point being that David v Goliath is just a story, a metaphor for the battle of the underdog versus an allegedly unstoppable enemy and the inspiration value inherent to the underdog winning.
For a better, more contemporary, and *gasp* factual example of this, might as well refer to the Anaheim Mighty Ducks versus the New Jersey Devils in the 2003 Stanley Cup final. Guess what? The underdog lost, and got beaten by the Devils. How do ya like them apples?
However, if you insist on there being a "god" parallel for your point to be made, how about Linus Torvalds? He made Linux, and said it was good... and all the geeks wenteth out and installed it.
