I hate to think how many people do take the story literally. How many people read it and think 'Well that really showed the scientists whose right'. This isn't just a mere story, it is a big fat lie because the author knows fine thst many people will believe it.

It's nice of god to get you out of a current while most of the world starve. Come on, this is a joke.

Well, technically I was working with the current the entire time. However, the moment that I'd use the eddy's current to get into the stronger, main current, I'd be sucked right back into the eddy and beached again. So, how would working less change anything, besides make it so I never entered the main current?

I hope you realize that if you go back to the same spot and pour dye into the eddy, it will start to permeate downstream. Unless of course this is the worlds first watery black hole.

In life, I know you'll get the short end of the stick, the sour part of the pineapple, the rotten end of the deal. But, in the end, it will all mix together to form a sweet life.

Either you are very young or have led a sheltered life. Do you even know about people outside your little circle?

You do realize that there's a differace between a possibly 800-pound boat and dye.

The current you describe should have no problem pushing an 800 pound boat. But you are missing the point. The fact is you wouldn't be trapped.

Also, there was quite a bit of wind, and the dye wouldn't be pushed back upstream by the wind like the ore rig.

So you can't get out of the current but the wind is so strong it pushes you upstream. Now I'm confused.

I feel that the grass is evidence. You and me are evidence. The earth and all the other planets are evidence. The whole universe, its nebulas, galaxies, quasars, are evidence for God. The fact that you are alive, breathing, and reading this message is evidence for God.

You mention the word evidence five times without actually providing any.
