tebowing

on facebook today i posited a lighthearted (yet somewhat serious) question: does tim tebow's continued success prove that god exists?

here is what we know:

tebow is a horrible nfl quarterback
he runs a high school offense which just doesn't work in the NFL
he has a firm belief in christianity
since taking over at QB for the broncos, they have gone 7-1

the success of the broncos must be defined by one of three possible scenarios:

1) tebow is a good nfl qb
2) some external factor has led to the broncos winning
3) tebow's faith is being rewarded on the football field by the lord god almighty

per the above statement, we can rule out #1
some could argue that number 2 is true.  but let's look at the facts: the games that the broncos have won have had some oddities.  for example, today marion barber fumbled on an almost no-contact play.  some would argue that "many players fumble in the NFL.  it isn't that uncommon."  but let's look at the facts: this was barber's first fumble of the season.  he doesn't fumble often.  prater making a 59 yard field goal?  unbelievable.  philip rivers fumbling a simple snap?  uncharacteristic.  

thus, i have only one conclusion to make.  if tebow is actually having success as a QB in the NFL, it can only be attributed to the legitimate existence of an almighty creator showing favor on his life.  he (tebow) does not have the skills to make it at the professional level.  external factors have been odd and uncommon.  perhaps divine intervention has played a role in the external factors.  regardless, something is going on that has been making tebow a winning quarterback in the NFL.

i just proved the existence of god.  all in a day's work...
