Yeah...and the Assyrians report that Hezekiah paid tribute and submitted to Assyrian control so they left him ruling a greatly reduced state.
The Assyrian version is much more believable.
Right now there's an angel in heaven, rubbing his aching balls and thinking "you mean it isn't even true???"
God can be a real dick sometimes.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
