The Bible Belt – The North American Christian Coalition joined forces with Gallop to release the following statistic: Pointing toward the sky after crossing the plane really gets the Big Man’s attention.
“He’s usually resting on Sunday,” says Tammy Faye Bakker, “and clearly receivers, quarterbacks and other players score touchdowns because they send their thanks skyward to the Almighty. That’s why all players who have pointed to the sky have scored touchdowns.”
Many have criticized the flawed logic of this reasoning, citing a lack of understanding about temporal and causal relationships and the paradox of reaching backward in time.
Stephen Hawking stated, “Only in a black hole could such reasoning be possible. And by that time, the player would have turned to spaghetti.”
“We don’t care,” says Coalition founder and CEO Oral Roberts, “Do you know any player who pointed to God who didn’t just score a touchdown?”
“Well, no,” replied Hawking, “But –”
“Then just shut up Cambridge boy and go study your stupid evolution and your ‘round’ Earth.”
It seems the bridge between religion and science will never be completed. But, thanks be to God, football will live on.
