Yes..that means it's pretty elite.

Meanwhile, you have a whole 144 people saying a flash in a photo is God. How could we ever have doubted you!

Just gonna copy/paste my earlier reply regarding the photo of a "halo."

It's a smear of light, possibly a reflection off of the camera lens. It doesn't look like a halo, it looks like a smudge. Lacey's opinion is that the photo is unretouched and the "halo" was formed when light hit the camera lens, which makes sense.
Quote:he also made this statement at a news conference, “To my knowledge, this is the first time in all the world’s history that a supernatural being has been photographed and scientifically vindicated.”
Was he saying that the person in the photo was a "supernatural being"? Or was he claiming that the halo was a "supernatural being"? Otherwise, just which particular supernatural being was photographed and "scientifically vindicated" by a guy who admitted nothing more than that a white smudge on a picture was caused by light?
It doesn't say much for the guy if he believes that he "scientifically vindicated" the existence of a halo because he determined that a white smudge on a picture wasn't caused by retouching.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

And by the laws of science, the quorum of 145 affirmatives have been reached! The halo-pictures now join the category of 'true' alongside ghosts, auras, homeopathy, and healing crystals.

LOL, someone... look at the man credentials.
The renowned astronomer George Ellery Hale claimed to have been visited repeatedly by an elf that climbed through his window. The elf told him to apply to the Rockefeller Institute for funding to build the then world's largest telescope.
Do we take the elf's existence as real, purely on Hale's credentials? Not to mention the very real telescope.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
