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.

    This is what religious colleges teach. Any weird religious bullshit they want. As if it were reality. To kids/young adults in school.

    You get an extra 20 points if you said “gawd did it” and why: “cuz’ fictional gawds can do anything!”

    No really. That’s how religious schools grade things. Now for an extra five points, draw a picture of jebus’ asshole.
