This must be the most lame ass "miracle" ever:
Holy Land's Miracle: the River Jordan Reversed its Flow!
w w w ireport.com/docs/DOC-40252

They claim that when the Orthodox priest throws a cross into the river, the river <b>actually changes course and flows backwards</b>!

They even got a YouTube video that <b>shows nothining of the kind</b>.
The people go "wooo" but as far as I can see the river flows in the same direction.

Saw nothing unusual until the last 10-20 seconds, and then I wasn't sure at all what I saw. Something seemed to move out of the view from left to right, but the water had been moving from right to left the whole clip. I don't know what I saw. There were birds, doves maybe, flying around. Could have been a bird in the water. It could have been a piece of wood, or a cross, or anything really, being dragged upriver on a string. Or something in the water that only appeared to move as the camera panned across.

Beats me.
 
You wanna see a lame miracle?



Reminds me of this:



I wish I had more hands so I could perform a quintuple facepalm.

Maybe he meant that the splash made some of the river momentarily flow backwards. The bigger the splash the bigger the flow? In any case, I've heard bigger lame-ass claims to miracles than that. Like life sprouting from dead material spontaneously. Now that's lame-ass big time! IMHO

BTW
There are also a lot of lame-ass, tongue-in-cheek claims to omniscience being constantly made on this forum which don't even raise an eyebrow.

Yeah. With such a stupid story I'd laugh at the Genesis account of the creation on Man myself.

In the mean time abiogenesis marches forward, leaving the crazy religious people who believe that skydaddy created humans from dirt.
 
Geees, the poor old River Jordan isn't the pristine stream I've seen pictured before. Was there a herd of goats upstream "using the facilities"?

I don't know why but I always thought you believed in the resurrection of Christ, so your criticism of it as a "lame-ass big time" came as quite a surprise to me.

How am I calling the ressurection of Christ lame-ass?

Radrook still believes that atheists are absolutely sure that there is no God, despite not having looked for him in every nook and cranny of the universe.

Sorry, Radrook, we do not claim to be omniscient. We simply refuse to believe in the existence of god until some evidence is provided.
 
Tidal bore? Or is this just a spot in the river that is prone to eddies? That's assuming anything is happening at all.

Yes, like those claims from people who say they can prove God's existence. Since God is likely to be hiding from his archenemy logic under a rock somewhere on the opposite side of the universe, one would have to be omniscient to know for certain that God exists. Or maybe God is worms.

"Like life sprouting from dead material spontaneously" isn't that what Christ did, his body was dead and the spontaneously it was resurrected?

I meant spontaneous as in spotaneous combustion as opposed to someone lighting the fire. Christ was ressurected by his heavenly Father. It didn't occur by itself. So my reference
wasn't meant to include his resurrection or any other ressurection in which there is an intermediary applying the needed power.

Thanks for the feedback : )

So it's crazy to claim "Magic Happens" expect in cases where "Magic Happens"?
 
I seem to recall an Indian music video, where certain scenes were filmed in front of a waterfall, but in some shots, there was an illusionary effect that made it appear as though the water was "falling up", instead of down.

Can't seem to find it, anymore, yet. But, I'll let you know when I do. (unless someone else finds it, first.)
