Much ado about numbers

Football married numerology when Tim Tebow threw for 316 yards in the Denver Broncos’ win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night. John 3:16, of course, is one of Tebow's favorite Bible verses. John 3:16, also a favorite of Billy Graham and other evangelists, is often called the “capsule gospel.” It has Jesus saying: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” It’s one of the verses Tebow wrote on his eyeblack during his days at the University of Florida. Icing on the cake: He also set an NFL playoff record with 31.6 yards per completion. This is all a coincidence and I know that because there is no God. Or at the very least, there is no proof, and besides, even if a god or gods did create the universe, God can't have just poofed himself/herself/themselves into existence from out of nowhere. In other news, North Korea said yesterday it will issue special pardons for convicts, a rare move that appeared to be aimed at boosting the popularity of young new leader Kim Jong Un as he attempts to fill his late father's shoes.
