Tis the Season for a Miracle
Some major U.S. magazines such as TIME and NEWSWEEK are covering breaking news on a 2000+ year old story. It's a miracle I tell ya so pay attention 'cause it all happened as described in the historically fact based book called the bible. You may have heard of it?
Tongue in cheek aside there's a little poll story included in that Newsweek which I find well, alarming isn't the word but perhaps you can imagine seeing a car crash and looking back in a double-take going "HUH"? The survey on The Christmas Miracle had some what can only be called incredulous findings:
- 67% of Americans believe the entire Chistmas Story as told in the bible is historic fact
- 79% believe in the virgin birth of Jesus without a human father
- 55% indicate the bible as literally true
- 62% favor teaching creation in the science classroom, 43% favor teaching it instead of evolution entirely
I have serious reservations about that last one ever happening. Perhaps they should include The Physics of Santa Claus as a valid theory as well?

Trying to find historical accuracy in a 2000 year old book based on Oral traditions is ridiculous. Believeing in the literal word of god is to try and fool yourself.
