This was posted at PZ's and it happens all too often -- who gets the credit for healing this gentleman, medical science or the Great Vatican Mojo?


A young man in Kansas had a traumatic event in his life. Here's a simple outline of what happened.

Chase Kear has a serious accident, fracturing his skull.

My money's on the Mojo. In this situation, always bet on the Mojo even if such doesn't exist, and better care could be had from a fruit bat if it did.

Yeah; that seems pretty retarded!

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

So the credit goes to god and if Kear hadn't pulled through, the medics, doctors, etc., I'm sure, would have received the blame.
