Quote:1 in 4 Americans Believe God Will Decide Who Wins The Super Bowl
Let's all remember that the next time some Jesus freak tries to use the argument from popularity.
"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."
-Stephen Jay Gould

Does this mean I can also give God credit for inviting Katy Perry to perform at half-time? If so, God deserves a swift kick in the ass.

It is rather unlike anything else, isn't it? You are supposed to carry rather than dribble the ball with hands or feet. Many of the players hardly if ever touch the ball and they aren't expected to. Physical contact and pushing each other over is encouraged as is just plain grabbing other players, but not always. . .
The action comes to a complete halt every time the ball touches the ground, after which there is an elaborate team face-off before the ball moves again. The ball switches hands for reasons of time and distance carried rather than just touching the ground. You can make a score by putting the ball through the goal posts, but you can make more points by running over the end-line.
It's almost as strange as cricket.

Nothing says football like Katy Perry and Lenny Kravitz playing the, like, three songs of his that were popular 15 years ago....
