This article made me laugh. The example of a "miracle" that gave them the courage to keep going is silly. It was no miracle. It was an event that happens every single day!
The big miracle? It suddenly started to down pour in the rainforest. It rained for about 15 minutes, then suddenly stopped. This is an every day event where they were. But for some reason, they called it a miracle. Maybe if you were in Utah it would be. Let me guess, the writer is from Utah?
