    Fun fact: If (big if) Goliath really existed, he was probably suffering from acromegaly. It is characterized by a person not stopping to grow after puberty. The reason for that is an enlarged, tumorous pituary gland in the brain. So David hitting Goliath between the eyes might actually have ruptured the tumour, leading to internal bleeding in his brain and killing Goliath.

    So the whole biblical story might be based on something that actually happened and then probably got more and more dramaticised every time it was told.

    Even if this image were real, and it was provable that it was the biblical Goliath, how in the fuck does that have anything to do with disproving evolution lol

      Christians: "Well, you see, God was right because the Bible was proved true. That’s why it disproves your silly science.

      The Bible contains everything about life! If it’s not in there, it doesn’t exist!"

      People: “Show me where in the Bible it has kangaroos.”

      Christians: “We’re being oppressed!”

        I absolutely love it when the crazy Christians try to pull the “If it’s not in the Bible, it doesn’t exist!” thing because at that point most everything they use on an every day basis must all be fictional things that don’t exist.

        Internet? Not in the Bible.

        Smart phones? Nope.

        Cars? Not a chance.

        Facebook? Haell No.

        TV? They wish.
