Google Him
01 October 2004
"'To those doubters out there who still don’t believe that God exists, I have just one piece of advice: Google Him.'" So says Dr. George Darlington of U. of Minnesota Divinity School, about what Newsweek is calling "the most conclusive evidence of a Supreme Being ever discovered": that is, over 59 million results were returned from a young man's unintentional internet search for God. "The stunning discovery, expected to wipe out atheism worldwide," was made by a 22-year old video-store clerk in Tacoma, Washington, when he attempted to search for the word "bod," but accidentally typed a "g" in place of the "b." "'As soon as those search results came up, I immediately alerted the authorities,'" said the young clerk. "'I knew this was something big.'" Also, only 3 million sites were found for Satan, which Newsweek interprets as theologians long have: God (and Paris Hilton) are more powerful than Satan.
