>Such assumptions without evidence.
All you had to do was ask nicely.
>The chief captains are obviously going to have very well maid weaponry and armor, and he may indeed have had more than one spear.
On spear breakage:

They aren't fragile, and a skilled fighter can usually avoid gaining much damage-- in a dueling situation. In a battle situation you will have people cutting at you from both sides and directly in front of you. His spear would not last through 800 encounters. This is fact.
Carrying more than one spear is impractical. They are too long and would be a hindrance.
>Not if you were an excellent and well-armored soldier.
Well armored is relative. In this period of history, plate armor is impossible to produce with the materials they have. The most well armored fighter would have plates of bronze over mail over cloth. It's good, but not nearly invulnerable like the men at arms of the Renaissance.
A skilled fighter in the best armor of the period would be a formidable sight, to be sure. But not formidable enough to last hours on the front line of a battle. It is frenzy-- you have spear points coming in from all angles, you are tripping over dead bodies, and your energy flags quickly.
You have this idea that the chief of captains was some barbaric, towering mountain of a man who was sent in to kill whole villages of people by himself. He wasn't. He was human, and any wise king would not send his chief coordinator and strategist to die in the frenzy of a frontline melee.

>This isn't fistfighting. Each engagement probably lasted an average of three seconds after he stabbed them in the neck with a spear.
Three seconds is absurd-- maybe he could achieve that if they all lined up and politely let him slit their throats.
Men don't immediately fall as soon as you cut them or stab them.

It is very difficult to wound someone in the head or neck area. It is the one place humans defend instinctively. More common wounds would be on the arms, legs, or torso, which take much longer to incapacitate someone. Minutes, usually, when the adrenaline begins pumping.
>All these assumptions.
A little bit of basic research would do you a world of good.
>Just like you assumed that two different chief captains with different names and places of origin were the same person.
Okay, fine, you know what, let's just disregard the first example in the picture since it is obvious you are getting so hung up on it. It doesn't make your book any more historical or truthful. Let's say 25% of those discrepancies on the list are real and cannot be explained away. A single hole in a supposedly infallible holy book renders it illegitimate.
>Your argument basically boils down to:
>"I'm an unathletic fag and everyone else must be too!"
No, my argument is based in fact and doesn't even rely on any measure of my athleticism. I would call you crazy for believing a man could slay 800 fighters in one bout with only a spear, but then again you believe the recorded oral tradition of a small group of nomadic herdsmen correctly outlines the fabric of the universe.
>Atheists are just blind to the word.
And Christians are blind to history.
