I'm glad you and your wife are okay, Drich. I understood the joke in the original post, though the idea of praying for harm to come to someone is a lot like hoping for it, and I don't think I've ever hoped for anyone to die.
As for those who might have prayed, you guys might want to start a poll on which specific deity you offered prayers to, because you were SO CLOSE!!!

"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."
