What if the 9 year old could recite what the devil said in Latin in real time? What if she through Satan accurately predict the next 6 terror attacks???
The point is not the validity of this particular situation but the way you all approach a story like this with a "the world is flat and man will never fly attitude."
All I am suggesting is you do a little digging before you dismiss anything out right.
I know that there are 1000 crap stories likes this, but out of that 1000 there maybe one legit occourance.. The point being the devil can often be found in the details.. If one were to simply look.
But those situations aren't logically plausible. So hypothesis of such situations is rather obtuse. But I can see where you're coming from a little more now.
At the time, human flight, sailing around the world, nor was a solar system logically plausible, till it was... Till someone was willing to look beyond popular belief, and critically examine their given situation and was willing to explore what was beyond conventional logic at the time...
Again, there are two types of people. Those who hold to convention/lemmings and those who seek to challenge it. Those who challenge convention are the true thinkers, the innovators.
Bottom line is either your a sheep to convention or your a thinker... What I am simply pointing out is which side of the sheep pen you are standing on.
