Only someone who refuses to think properly will reach the conclusion you have reached? Let me ask you a few questions that I expect you to answer with honesty.
I will certainly answer honestly. You will doubtless respond with more unfounded personal attacks.
quote:
1) Why were plane crashes more likely to happen everyday in the January month as you say?
I did not say any such thing. And you must remeber that I was talking about the WHOLE of January 2009 - not just the second half, which TB Joshua's "prediction" covered.
quote:
2) Was there an unseen force that was causing all of these planes to crash almost everyday as you have said?
There is no evidence to suggest that the situation is in anyway abnormal and therefore no need to invoke any "unseen force".
quote:
2) Or are these crashes the result of pilot error, or did plane manufactures just construct crappy planes for the January month?
I expect that many are pilot error. But what difference does that make ?
quote:
4) Why didn't the crashes carry on into the February month, and if the February month had fewer planes that crashed what might explain this?
I never said that they did not carry on into February. In fact the figures show a crash of a US-registered plane every day in February 2009 except for the 13th.
quote:
Just because a plane crash happened on a previous day there is no guarantee it will happen the next day;
5) If you argue there is a guarantee what is this guarantee founded on?
I never said that there was an absolute guarantee. All I am saying is that the figures show that TB Joshua's "prediction" was utterly unimpressive.
quote:
What's my point? my point is plane crashes are random events, they are not prearranged
That is what I've been saying all along.
quote:
they are also rare according to statistics
No, they aren't - at least not in any relevant sense. That has been shown time and again in this thread.
quote:
GA crashes may not be as rare as airliner accidents, but by just looking at the numbers we cannot fully tell the risk of something.
You can by looking at the RIGHT numbers. But that is what you call "refusing to think properly".
quote:
At times a few weeks may pass before the next crash or just a few days, some months have more crashes than other months, this is what we would expect to notice about a totally random event.
That is not what the figures show - nor is it what I would expect.
quote:
Therefore you cannot write off the prophecy of TB Joshua with this argument.
So your idea of "thinking properly" is rejecting the real data in favour of your imagined data. I don't think that many people would agree.
quote:
Especially since his prophecy was right on the nose, accidents did happen on all the dates he gave in his prophecy.
Exactly as anybody knowing the figures would expect. Predicting a highly probable outcome is hardly impressive, nor evidence of the supernatural.
