In the dark deep sea, sperm whales use echolocation to find food.
Their echolocation clicks are *loud*. 230 decibels loud. How loud is that? Well, loud enough that if a sound wave of 230 decibels hit ya, you'd be dead.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
