Combine American sports (where god gets credit for all sorts of mundane things) with Facebook (where everything that happens is some sort of object lesson for humanity) and that's what you end up with. A guy involved in an accident that broke his back is thankful to god. Maybe even more thankful than that time that god helped him throw three touchdowns in the second half to win a big game!
"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."
