In the book "David and Goliath" by Malcolm Gladwell he states that Goliath should have been the underdog for many even non-supernatural reasons, and many onlookers probably realized it. One of the biggest was he was almost blind.
Personally I always felt the sling was almost as good as a gun under the circumstances.

Re: David and Goliath
Gladwell simply doesn't know what he's talking about, and the book in question was rightly and widely panned by critics. Here's a sample review you might want to look at:

And that, brothers and sisters, is the kind of foolishness you get people who insist on denying biblical theism. A good illustration of any as the length people will go to avoid acknowledging basic truths.Proinsias wrote:I don't think you are hearing me. Preference for ice cream is a moral issue
