Pat the Prescient — 051111
Looks like we have another opportunity to evaluate Pat Robertson’s ability to predict the future.
Pat recently made a pronouncement about Dover, PA, where the school board had kicked out any discussion of Intelligent Design theory as an alternative to evolutionary theory in their school system.
According to sources, Pat’s comment was as follows:
I’d like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don’t turn to God. You just rejected him from your city.
This is hardly what any rational person would describe as calling down hellfire and brimstone to consume the ungodly. But you couldn’t tell that from the hellfire and brimstone that people are heaping upon him for making such a statement.
I think it rather odd....
