Whether or not the Israelites were in exile at a certain time of conquered at a certain time is pretty much in line with other non Biblical texts. It's a certainty that the Israelites were in Babylon during the time of the book of Daniel, but I guess I can see why it might not be taken on its face that Sadrach, Meshach, and Abednigo were tossed into the fiery furnace and lived.
