Sorry I shouldn't have used the word we instead you since that is what he said.
Its more of the mundane doesn't make it into the realm of stories that are used to show divine provenance. Well that is if Davids win over Goliath is suppose to be divine provenance this I will freely admit to not knowing, but was under the impression of that is why it is in the religious texts. -

My major was not Religion, but my minor was extremely close. You are wrong. The dudes a fucking shepherd, whoop dee fucking do. Yes, the mundane is ACTUALLY used to make the Divine, the evil and the good appear to have a greater significance.Its more of the mundane doesn't make it into the realm of stories that are used to show divine provenance.The hood mentality is crippling disease, that attacks your nervous system. It makes you nervous of the system. Gangsters and hood rats are especially susceptible to this growth stunting mentality. The hood is where I'm from, but it's not what I am.

I think we are walking down a similar path here.
My question would be what makes this story extraordinary is it because the guy was a
mundane shepherd that killed this giant of a warrior?
or
The shot from the sling was this extraordinarily shot to a small unarmored place knocking out/killing this giant of a warrior?
or
The ultimate combination of both? -

Well, perhaps I'm not a fucking idiot, because the fact that people of different religions and heritage can be friends, is exactly what I was trying to point out.
After reading a few pages of guys dogging each other for their heritage or ethnicity, I thought I'd throw that in there.
I've met people from many countries, religions and backgrounds that I liked quite well. There are both good and bad people from every background, as well as open minded people and fucking idiots.
I've noticed that I'm by far not alone, that no matter what I say, no matter what the subject, someone thinks I'm a fucking idiot. I'm seeing that that applies to about everyone who posts, and some get dogged a lot worse than me. Freedom of Speech seems to be a rule here, so it is starting to bother me very little. -

OK I have taken advanced science courses and physics. I'm only stating this because it was brought up already, and I do understand.
The numbers by far do not mean everything, nor do they mean nothing. Other factors involved are not mentioned, the main being that the area the force is applied to is not mentioned, and that is extremely important when it comes to penetration and breakage. Hit a bone with a 2 by 6 on the flat side, at a certain amount of newtons, and it doesn't break. Now hit it with the narrow side, and see if it breaks. The same amount of total force is now concentrated on an area 1/3 the size.
Without contact area being entered into the equation, the amount of force, in this case, doesn't matter much. How many newtons of force does it take to push an ice pick through a skull? A lot less that a 2 by 4 does.
