Sorry but I have to remove this from the science channel. I also suggest a *lies tag. This 'doctor' (he's just a dentist) lives on making shit up. Just look at his website.

"DR. HOROWITZ: An angel directed the writing of this book. I’ve simply been following what appears to be Divine guidance and universal intelligence. The information is highly practical and scientifically sensible, but the manner in which I came across this information is not considered “normal.” This is my 15th major book. Most of these are pretty thick, extensively investigated, with pages of scientific references. Not Walk on Water. The persuasive power behind these revelations hold their own and touch your heart. These obvious truths are so compelling that most people who read it will know this is from a Divine Source.

I’ve simply been listening to that, so called, inner voice. The book resulted from this and numerous, virtually daily, synchronicities. The people who sourced the data came into my life without much effort. The Bible says, “the steps of the righteous are ordered.” I had every step ordered by unexpected delights--revelations about spiritual evolution and Divine communion. The book came by simply following this calling"

The people are actors. Or do you believe Chris Angle can walk on water?

MAGIC IS REAL! LOL

A dude with magical powers came to Earth from out of the clouds. Some red dude with big horns lives underground and is 'evil'. Snakes can talk. Angels (fairies?) are REAL. Jesus can walk on water. Moses parted the waters and can summon forth holy pillars of fire to stave off his enemies. Jesus can turn water into wine (I thought it was lead into gold.. but whatever).

So.. who's view on reality is more screwed up? An Atheists or a Christians?

My flavor of Christianity(tm) is better than yours! DIE INFIDEL!
No! My flavor of Christianity(tm) is better than yours! DIE HEATHEN!

Well... secular science/medicine helps those dudes live beyond 25. So there. Who has magical powers now?

Get over it. Magic is not real. You can't walk on water. Some dude did NOT turn water into wine. Snakes cannot talk. The flood NEVER happened (where the frack did all the water drain to if the entire earth was inundated?). The Dinosaurs lived millions of years ago, not a few thousand. Your book of god was written by a various politically repressed guys wearing burlap sacks for clothing with nothing more to hope for than making their wild fairytales come true.

Rivers don't run with blood. First born males were not taken by a magical dark cloud. Some idiot did not part the waters and summon forth a column of fire to single handedly drive away the infidel from the 'saved people'.

Magic is not real. Get over it. My shit stinks just as bad as yours.

If you were intelligently designed, would your happy fun play-place be the very same place as your sewer system? Yeah. Good job designing that one turd for brains.

^Oh, I'm sure he'll let us down. I just hope it won't be monstrous. There's no question he's a better pick than McCain, but I think a lot of people are expecting him to walk on water or something. Once we slip comfortably into 2009, I bet we'll all experience less "change" than we were hoping for.

Didn't the MythBusters try the ninja things to walk on water, and sink?


They did, but this one noted they were to walk on a swamp, which is a bit different.

Where is this ninja museum? It looks awesome. Much better than that spy museum we have in DC.

I was told it was a dupe, someone else did appear to have it in their personal queue for much longer than I. They would probably greatly appreciate the promote, though, DFT!

Fringe faiths?
What faiths AREN'T based in belief of something "magical?" Sure your average BS american christian will probably go to the hospital if they get sick, but many will still believe that jesus was this magical guy who raised the dead, cured the sick, walked on water, yada yada.
If anything you have to hand it to people who go all-out-wacko over religion. At least they have the balls to have "real faith." If you believe in magical bs, put your money where you mouth is and let faith solve your problems.


You mistake balls with crazy, and magic with unfathomable power. I also don't understand what you mean by "real faith" when their basic faith model is that of having to prove God is real over and over again to themselves by only allowing room for direct intervention. Believing in causes that happen outside the universe isn't magic.

And lastly, what makes you think that not going to a doctor has anything more or less to do with faith in Gods healing? Most miracles in the bible took place through a person. No more or less reason to suggest that someone believing that God can use a doctor to heal someone is any less a derivative of faith than anything else. In fact, it is the thinking that you are suggesting that leads people astray from the real idea that God is working in everything and everyone and everywhere.

Back on topic though, it is pretty obvious from what happened that their faith is weaker and needs God to show himself in a very non-transparent way for them to have any connection with Him. It is this shallow needy faith that causes a lot of problems for people, not only in the church, but people on the outside looking in. These folks ended up killing a baby because of this insecurity which is a real tragedy.

Jesus can walk on water... Moses can call down pillars of fire from the sky. Snakes can talk. Angels are not fairies renamed.

MAGIC MAN IS REAL!
