In June, Rep. Eric Burlison, a Missouri Republican serving on the House Oversight Committee, appeared on BlazeTV’s Prime Time with Alex Stein, where he discussed his belief that giants once existed. Burlison told Stein he was scheduled to be at “NephCon 2025,” a conference focused on fringe topics including the biblical Nephilim —figures in Genesis that some interpret as the giant offspring of angels and human women.
He credited Timothy Alberino’s podcast with sending him “far down the rabbit hole,” eventually reaching claims that the Smithsonian Institution is hiding evidence, the bones of past giants that lived on the Earth. Burlison suggested that, as a member of the Oversight Committee, he could investigate the Smithsonian.
Religious assholes want to rename dinosaur bones as “biblical Giant Human bones”.
Because, yes, they are that stupid. Please stop pretending they aren’t.
Also: Release Epstein Files. This is not a distraction.
We know about dinosaurs because we had a large and enthusiastic media campaign to promote their discovery and study.
People who grew up in households that weren’t exposed to Paleontology as a science, but got immersed in religious propaganda and mythology, came out with a totally different understanding of the world.
This has nothing to do with human intelligence. Although, the intrinsic need to stack rank every population into “Smarties” and “Dummies” is another instance of Calvinist propaganda (transmuted by Ayn Randian eugenic theories) tricking otherwise intelligent people into believing the craziest and most incoherent things.
