Just as long as we're talking about intellectual dishonesty...
From what I can tell the Bible describes the Ammonites as a tribe in the land of Ammon (which apparently is somewhere near the Dead Sea). I can't find any mention of their troop strength or weaponry that was available to them.
If it is a case of the Israelites with bows and arrows vs the Ammonites with rocks, then yes, I think it would be entirely possible. Not even that, in more recent history the Continental Army was able to defeat a much larger, more powerful and better equipped army through better tactics and use of the land. Is that not possible as well? Come to think of it, that might be a better example than Gulf War I.
Again, welcome to the fold.

Yer gonnna wanna see post #87 Rick. And you're really not getting the gist of how the early Israelites conquered all other larger tribes in the OT, are you. makes me wonder what else in the Bible you don't understand, or are you having a Trekkor moment?
