Wait, are they saying a camel can’t get through the eye of a needle?

Who knows? More than likely, they are trying to discredit the bible, but I heard someone say, the Bible is an anvil that has worn out many a hammer. Considering all the attempts to wipe it out, the fact that we even have a Bible today, is quite remarkable.

“Wait, are they saying a camel can’t get through the eye of a needle?”

The reference stems from laden pack camels not being able to enter through a city’s gates without first unloading, passing thru, then reloading on the other side. It does beg the question, why weren’t the architects aware of the need to build a gate large enough and high enough to accomodate a fully-laden camel? Were there no camels around at the time the gates were built?
