IDK if the castaway is a liar, attention-seeking, mentally ill or telling the truth, just saying his appearance isn't what one would expect a castaway for over a year in the sun and wind with little to eat would look like. He looks just like anybody else who's had a bad few days and not ill or battered - better than some who've just had this winter's flu for two weeks! He could have done it for sure as people survive all kinds of improbably things looking while still looking great and in great shape for what they've been through but none compare to him. I remember how ill Baby Jessica looked in pictures after spending a few days in that well and things like that - I guess that's what I'm comparing him to. Maybe when we know more and he explains how he managed to escape wasting and weathering, it will all fall into place and make more sense. But if he's that enterprising as to survive and stay afloat through storms and waves, leaks in the boat, hunger, thirst and sun and make that long trek all alone and looks this good after what he says he's been through, by the time he's 90 years old, he'll probably still look like he's barely 50! Talk about good genes!
And he could sure manage on those starvation Survivor shows and put all those other skinny gamers to shame, couldn't he, Kristin? I remember that one blonde nurse that won the game that year was just down to skin and bones in her month or so on the show. |
Exactly my point. You can't discuss or debate anyone's religion, whether it makes sense or not. Yet the same people want proof and answers beyond a reasonable doubt for things like this in modern times.
Maybe it was by the grace of God alone that he survived and you guys are questioning it.
