Silly numbers...like 185,000 Assyrians attacking Jerusalem and such.
Just made up shit.
Yeah, but god sent an angel and it killed those 185,000 Assyrians in one night. God actually loves to tell that story in heaven from time to time. He always finishes it the same way. He asks out loud "and do you know why I did that?" Then he pauses for a few seconds, and suddenly turns and punches a random angel right in the crotch. Then he stands over him and dramatically shouts "
BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I FUCKIN' ROLLLLLLLL" and everyone laughs nervously while rubbing their testicles in sympathy.
"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."

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.
