Recently as I was reading a book called Sharing Jesus without Fear, I came across a bizarre fact from Ripley's Believe It or Not! Strange Coincidences, for a tossed coin to fall to heads fifty times in a row would require one million people tossing ten coins a minute for forty hours a week, and then it would only occur once in every 900 years.
Did you get that? Go back and read that again.
Now, Fey the author of Sharing Jesus Without Fear, goes on to explain that the Old Testament contains around 30 prophecies about the birth death and resurrection of Jesus and around 240+ prophecies that were foretold and ended up coming true.
So put that back into coin flipping terminology that would be the equivalent of flipping a quarter until a person hits heads 240 times.
The odds? 1 in 1 billion.
Faith is not crazy, it is a matter of sensibility. That is upside down reasoning at best!
