A real headache to argue over

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

"Finally found some credible evidence"

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.

lol how is goliath proof for creationism. it's just some big rando. this is so silly

At 7 cubits tall his skull would still not be that big. They should have claimed it was a nephilim skull instead.

Also Goliath was canonically 9 ft 9 inches tall. That fake skull alone is at least 2 feet tall. The average proportion of head to body height in humans is a ratio of 1:7.5. So the owner of this skull would likely be at least 15 feet tall. Much larger than Goliath.

Also curious as to how it ended up it central Italy.

I mean, Goliath was called a giant but wasn't "my skull is the size of a full grown man's torso" big. He is said to be about 9'-9'9". Which, if there was historical legitimacy to the story, could easily be within the range of a very tall person that had their height exaggerated over time.

Goliath died outside of Jerusalem, too, not Rome. And his people were Greek, not Roman, so it’s not like his remains would be taken back to Rome. And if he really was such a champion, his remains wouldn’t be left in a random forest with no marker or ruins about.

EDIT: No time for the old “Philistines aren’t Greeks,” love, I’ve just come to read the meter.

It's on a random Facebook page, it must be true

Thw fuck is the image is it Photoshop or ai? Or did someone just berry a fuck off big skull.

Uh, no, the side was smashed in.

edit: all talking about between the eyes, but i learned from that part in religion lessons that the temple is a weak point on our skull.
Difference between european and american version?

We know he was only 9 feet tall, too. This skull is way too fucking big to be Goliath. Or even real.

He found it in the wilderness? That seems easy to narrow down and verify.
