I remember a mine disaster a few years ago when there were quite a few trapped miners.
There was an announcement that mistakenly informed the relatives that all the miners were ok and they went around go going "thank god" etc.
Then it was announced that the miners were all dead.

Silence.

No one said well anything to the effect that god could have saved them but chose not to.

This is the best example of confirmation bias I can think of.

God only gets credited with the good stuff.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
