Folks, The way I see it, the miners had probably first made enemies with God as he sent some of them, while they were still minors at twelve years old, to work underground in the darkest and unsafest mines. The next step was to seal them alive in a tomb for no apparent reason. All this was then somehow followed by a generous 'miracle' from God.

God's finger is there! The fact is that the only entrance/exit to the mine got blocked. In N. America unions insist that all mines have two separate entrances/exits. In Chile, these laws are non-existent or not adhered to, else the miners would have probably been out by the end of their regular shift i.e. without the need for a 'miracle.' > "They attributed their "miracle" not to Science, but to God." The western press reported that some of the Christian miners had both wives and mistresses. I genuinely see these dual purpose men becoming fans of God. They are clueless to the level of which science has developed or essentially, what allowed scientist to pin point accurately where the trapped miners were and the easiest method to rescue them. This was nothing but a rescue mission using the best science know to man. Mervyn1346Lobo
