I don't know if I need to propose topics for the Coffee house, or if I can just post there, but that would be the proper forum for this...
My disbelief about some of the things I see and hear is not limited to E vs. C issues. In general, I am beginning to think people are just getting stupider every day. My example...
I am watching few minutes of the Master's Golf tourney (Colorado is under blizzard conditions, and I was channel surfing...) and I watched Tiger tee off... His ball landed with a thud, and settled onto the green.
The announcer then went on to say that the force of Tigers ball landing on the green was enough to dislodge the ball of another golfer, which had been sitting just on the crest of a ridge, about 25 feet away.
He was going on and on about how amazing thing that was to see. I was incredulous... Was there no better explanation? A puff of wind, vibration from the thousands of spectators in the gallery?
It was a great example of an eyewitness account of an amazing event, and the eyewitness was completely convinced that his version of the events was true. Despite the obvious physical flaws in the theory, and despite any thought of more likely causes.
Thankfully, after a minute of the lead announcer going on and on, the color guy chimed in that the other golfers ball was already rolling, and then proceeded to cue footage showing the other ball in motion, before Tiger's ball landed.
Somehow, though, if the event had some sort of divine overtones, I think the claim would be spreading in Christian circles, but not the follow up...
