"THE WITNESS
'What causes exciting but silly beliefs?'
'A combination of ignorance and a wish to be involved in sensational
events. On a very dark night a rancher was making a minor repair on the
roof of his barn. He dropped his lighted flashlight, which was caught by
his son on the ground who tossed it back up. The incident was witnessed at
a distance by a passing traveler. From that day forward the traveler
solemnly told people that he had witnessed a miracle. He had, he said,
actually seen a man jump from a barn roof to the ground and promptly jump
back up.'"
