This story has all of the characteristics of mischievous fabrication. And
when mischievously fabricated fables are presented as truth in the name of
Christian belief, the real Gospel gets another black eye.
In 1970 we asked for documentation of the claims made in this particular
fable. In response we were told stories of the sort, "The documentation has
been lost. The computer program has been destroyed. ...etc."
It is depressing to see Christians so eager to believe junk!
