    Exactly as described? Almost. Historians accept the story as being probably true. Goliath probably suffered from Gigantism, which often leads to blurry and tunnel vision by causing pressure on the optic nerve. Thus, David's ability to walk up to Goliath undetected, which the early storytellers attributed to David becoming miraculously invisible.

    Gigantism also causes susceptibility to head trauma. Thus, David's ability to take down a helmeted opponent with a single stone from his sling. By the way, in tests sling stones achieve an average velocity of about 30m/s, so this is not implausible.

    The problem I see with this story is that people are looking for a physical miracle that defies the laws of physics, and that's not where they should be looking. Instead, they should be looking at the fact that while all the hardened warriors were peeing their sandals instead of going out to face Goliath, a no-name shepherd boy had the faith and courage to step forward and accept Goliath's challenge. In doing so, he ended the battle before it began. If he hadn't accepted Goliath's challenge, the two armies would have resorted to a mass battle instead.
