Read the story.
Or, the short version: A brilliant woman walked into the snowy winter to get some groceries, only to disappear into a snow drift in some field somewhere and nearly die. Leave it to CNN to not even attempt to explain this. Instead, the focus on her “miraculous” rescue, 3 days later. Doctors say she survived because her body was insulated by the snow she somehow found herself under.
What her husband says about this is curious to me:
My wife, you know, doesn’t pump iron. She is strong physically and spiritually,” he said. “When people say to me how do I explain how she survived, I said I believe God reached down and cradled her until the rescuers could find her, because there’s no rational explanation.
If you read the story, you’ll notice that his statement is immediately followed by this:
In addition to hypothermia, Donna Molnar is being treated for severe frostbite, and her recovery will take months.
Heh. The All-Knowing All-Seeing All-Powerful God-That-Can-Do-Anything reached down and cradled her, but allowed her body to dip into hypothermia, and get severe frostbite that will take “months to recover from”. That’s some awesome God. Maybe he was just being an asshole. I hope God never comes to “cradle” me, allowing me to wander off into a field to die and then leaving me with severe injuries. What a jerk.
