    You are in a car with your seriously injured child and you have no phone.
    To your left, one mile away, is a faith healer renowned for curing many people.
    To your right, also a mile away is a hospital.
    Which way do you turn, left or right?

    The hospital as faith healing as never been demonstrated in a control test environment so the renowned you hear about is hearsay with no basis. Only fringe fanatics would pick a faith healers over doctors.

    Oh this seems like a good chance to talk about the one situation of something seemingly supernatural happening to me where this guy who my parents believed was an angel claimed to be a doctor. We were on our way home from who knows where and got off on one of the highway exits (exit 8 I-270 northbound, rockville--if you want a map to help you visualize it) and there was a car that had run off the road into a metal fence. There was a little kid in the car who had flown through the windshield. He looked pretty badly hurt. Then this guy in a nice suit walks out of the Kings Farm area and says he's a doctor and he can help.

    Now, here's the problem. The Kings Farm area, if you look at it now, has tons of houses and businesses. But back then, it was still a farm owned by a Mr. Kings. That means this guy walked out of about half a kilometer/0.3 miles of cornfield if he was walking through the short way; it'd be about 1.6 km the long way. So my parents, naturally, asked him where he had come FROM, since that's a long way to be walking through a cornfield for no reason. He said he was a doctor and was walking home from the hospital. Next problem: the hospital (Shady Grove Adventist Hospital) is 2 miles/3.2 km in the other direction. He would have had to have walked along Shady Grove Road, since the other way would have had him walking across a 12 lane highway. And like I said, there were no houses back then, just corn. So he would have had to have walked 2 miles down Shady Grove, then for no reason taken a 1/3 mile detour through a cornfield, heading towards nowhere in particular, in a suit that wasn't dirty or sweaty.

    I'm still confused by that one.
    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for I have a sonic screwdriver, a tricorder, and a Type 2 phaser.
