That doesn't counter anything Shawn said. Or, add to it.
"Clinical death isn't such a clear cut phenomenon. Even when people appear to be dead there is still brain functioning going on. This reduced function causes false sensory impressions that are remembered as visions of the afterlife or tunnels of light, etc. by people who come to the brink of death and are brought back by medical science. It's the brain trying to make sense of a thing it can't understand."
Heck, I've been clinically dead. It wasn't Allah or the Devil who brought me back, but a crash cart, medical professionals, and that Nottby Lane fairy you refuse to believe in. Is it a miracle? Sure. But "miracle" only means whatever you want it to. Good sushi with a bit of egg yolk in it is a miracle. Children, little warm puppies, and girls of the night are miracles. When you miss your bus, but as it pulls away, someone pulls the emergency stop line and you can jump on while they're getting off. Television. That horses have four legs and a nice trot.

Patsy Walker on TV! Patsy Walker in new comics! Patsy Walker in your brain! And Jessica Jones is the new Nancy! (Oh, and read the Comics Cube.)
Skip to the very end. It's not that insane that a ninja could do this. It's a kid's playground, not a NBA height hoop.
By Odin's bristling beard, I was obviously making fun because you were asking how ninja kids in a movie made a dunk. It was a joke because you're not supposed to care. Then again, this is the stupid question thread so I'm probably the one out of line here (though not for invoking the name of mythical creatures).
I am glad you came back, t hedge! We need all the Patsy Walker fans we can get. Also because you being dead would totally suck eggs.
I like the Dr Manhattan definition of miracle. Me being here out of a gazillion poopillion possible genetic combination, all that sperm that did not make it, all my ancestors who could have turned left instead of right and never met, that is pretty miraculous. And all just so that I can sit herein sweat pants, sip on violet flavored tea and listen to Dinah Washington wail.
It does indeed, and it's well documented that the visions people see are affected by the cultures and belief's around them.
When it's a Christian they're likely to see Heaven/Hell/Angels etc and they see it as proof of God. When it's a conspiracy theorist they're likely to get little green men (this one was particularly common in the 90s) and they see it as proof of alien abductions. When it's someone in a completely different culture it's likely to be something from their mythology and they'll take it as proof of what they believe in.
It's not evidence of anything.
Who would win in a fight? The Mountain (game of thrones) or a Sardaukar (Dune)? The Mountain or a Fremen?

A lesbian tryst is the only explanation for what the teenage girl in this commercial was up to, right? When she sneaks in she's wearing mismatched socks, but they're both girls socks. Mixing up socks is the kind of mistake you make when getting dressed in a hurry after wild sex.
Odd shoes (well, trainers) were semi-trendy a year or so back... but you know what? I reckon you're definitely on to something.
P.S. That girl looked under-age too. Disturbing.
My 12 year old daughter always just grabs two socks. Sometimes they match, but usually they don't
