Two possible scenarios of the crash landing are:

1) The prayer and crash at the Jesus sign was a coincidence; or

2) Divine intervention.

Scenario 1 is perfectly reasonable and compatible with what is known about "reality". It's the default position for most humans, IMO. There is no need to jump to a conclusion to accept Scenario 1.

Scenario 2 requires one to believe there was divine intervention by a supernatural being - a "Superman" supreme being, no less. This requires a rather incredible leap of faith. It also forces one to ask why the supernatural being saved these praying folks and not millions and millions of other praying folks - a question which seems to be answered by believers with "God has his reasons" or " . . . works in mysterious ways".

I think this thread represents the depth of delusion some, not all, believers find themselves. Like I said, there is a significant number of believers, IMO, who do not believe in an active deity. It certainly offers no proof, by any standard, of a deity.

FWIW.
