A solitary Navy SEAL made it out alive. This SEAL claims that God delivered him from his enemies, though half of the platoon were Christian too. They died horribly painful deaths, and he barely survived. In fact, if it weren't for the ancient middle eastern culture of extreme hospitality, he would have been executed.
So everyone is claiming that it was a miracle, when all signs point to nothing more than a combination of pure luck, steadfast determination, and excellent military training. Had everyone died, you would hear no mention of God. That one guy made it out means the difference from people claiming miracles.
Why is that?
Google turns up 45,000 hits for the word
miracle in conjunction with the phrase "
sole survivor".
Strange, isn't it?
If a hundred people
don't get killed, that's normal, but if ninety-nine of them
do get killed that's evidence of a beneficient God.
