      I think a big part of his story is that his mother wasn’t fucked actually

          Technically, god raped mary so god could give birth to himself, so he could sacrificed himself to himself, to save us from himself. All very basic stuff.

          I like that the holy spirit only makes one appearance to fuck Mary and then fucks right off for the rest of the stories. I think he/it cameos once during the flood but otherwise no relevance to the plot whatsoever.

          E: Looked it up and the Holy Spirit does appear as a deus ex machina throughout the books, so there’s that.

      Most historical figures would be short by our standards. Modern diets and easy availability of cheap nutrition have added multiple inches to the average height - several when compared to civilizations where famines were common (see pictures of the Korean DMZ with North Korean soldiers next to South Korean ones).

          Not always, usually it’s an evolutionary arms race though. Recent paper I thought was really cool suggests the initial jump from single to multicellular happened because of a snowball Earth which changed the water temperature and therefore viscosity, making larger size equate to more efficient swimming.
