hmm...is it just me or does it seem like sign related is preaching on the debate forum?...
anyway:
doglover wrote:I don't know about all those Biblical connections...but in my own life there are several important dates that overlap. Some examples are:
My son's birthday and my best friends' birthdays are the same (different years)...March 5th
My deceased grandmother's birthday and the date my son was concieved are the same...June 6th
Both of my son's grandmother's died on the same date, different years...Aug 21, 1984 and Aug 21, 1989
My husband and dad share the same birthday as well as a friend...April 7th
My Uncle's birthday is April 27th... his father died on April 27th.
Are these just coincidences or is there something deeper at work here?
You only note these dates because they are noteable. What about the ones that don't match up? There are WAY more of those than there are of the ones you posted. It's like when I tell the story of my uncle in the world trade center: for some reason, the people in his office on the 40th floor had to get coffee from the 20th floor, so on 9/11/01 it was his turn to go down to get it, and while he was down there they planes hit and he got out safely, but all his coworkers died. This doesn't mean he was chosen by God, it just means he was one lucky bastard out of about 2500 unlucky ones. He's no different than the rest, he just lucked out big time.
Some people have more coincidental dates like the ones you posted, and some have less. You just don't note the ones that aren't like that because they don't draw your attention like these ones do. Like the time 2:22, you might remember seeing that before because it was all the same digit, but you don't really think "Oh! I looked up randomly and saw that time last week, too!" when you see 5:49 or something (I just looked up and saw that).

Beautiful. I'm moved.
