61. I agree with you. It's getting tiresome.
There is a scientific and rational explanation/reason for why the plane landed in the drink and nobody got killed. Giving credit to a being that has NEVER been proven to exist outside of a 2,800 year old book written by ignorant men/women who believed in gods for what happened in their lives because they had NO UNDERSTANDING about the laws of nature, physics, astronomy, medicine, and science, is not only ridiculous but tiresome. Those of us who don't live in the religious fantasy world of gods, angels, saints, devils and demons shake our heads with amazement on how people can turn off their logical minds and praise their god for this "miracle". This takes the credit away from the pilot, who trained for this type of event his whole career.

This is no different than the Pope John Paul II after being critically wounded by a gunman that resulted in a 5 hour life-saving surgery, giving the credit to Our Lady of Fatima for keeping him alive. It wasn't the surgical staff, but Lady Fatima. Not only is this statement ridiculous but delusional.

By the way, the definition of a miracle is an event contrary to the laws of nature that is attributed to a supernatural cause.

If someone can prove to me the "laws of nature" were broken in this plane crash that allowed everyone to survive on board, then I will give credit to your god.
