Poisoned pet food. Seafood laced with potentially dangerous antibiotics. Toothpaste tainted with an ingredient in antifreeze. Tires missing a key safety component.

The old testament is rife with proofs of the God of Abraham's strength. Unsubstantiated by atheist standards, but proofs nonetheless. There are stories of Lot and Jonah, and those three guys that were put in an oven and didn't burn.
