People will always see their gods and their beliefs in supernatural events and common shares. It's just as well that the religious brain works.

I'd like to 'point out' the comment of "The idiot" who made the opening post, was the first to mention "was not a miracle that they weren't killed."  Still keeping score Minnie? Be sure to mark me down for two  My first thoughts were perhaps Hannah's husband should learn to listen and wait for God, rather foolishly leaping faith first. 
That was a prediction that you, G-C or another idiot like you would make such an absurd claim.
I'll take the point. 
At the end of the article Hannah Gastonguay said the family will now "go back to Arizona" and "come up with a new plan."
 Maybe they will consider atheism?

She thought that hopping in a boat with no destination and seeing what happens was a plan?
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Religious "faith" 101. It's "god's plan."  (August 11, 2013 at 7:29 pm)Chas Wrote: Wait. Hold the bus. She thought that hopping in a boat with no destination and seeing what happens was a plan? No, dimwit! THEY PRAYED FIRST!!! Totally foolproof, except for the part where it all went to shit.
"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 atheists wonder why they are stereotyped?
Why not be thankful that the people did not die and are still alive? Instead you use the case as material to rant and rave and curse about a God you do not even believe exists.... They believe in God, you guys don't. But I assure you, threads like this only serve to show that your attitude towards those that have different beliefs than you make you look just like those same people you are so quick to judge for being bigots. |
