Here is the proof.

    Despite numerous warnings of ice ahead, one to which the Titanic's wireless operator replied "SHUT  UP!!!", the Titanic sailed full speed ahead into not one lone iceberg,,,, but rather a pack of ice containing innumerable icebergs.

     In the book, "The story of the TITANIC as told by its survivors" , one of the survivors of the tragedy, Mr. Lawrence Beesley, gave the following account shortly after the sinking:

     "Of course, the chances that night of striking an iceberg were much greater than one in a million:  they had been enormously increased by the extreme southerly position of icebergs and field ice and by the unusual number of the former.  Thinking over the scene that met our eyes from the deck of the Carpathia after we boarded her --- the great number of icebergs wherever the eye could reach --- the chances of not hitting one in the darkness of the night seemed small."

     Those who were saying that "God Himself could not sink the Titanic", were certainly tempting God.  But to say that God sank the Titanic because of those statements, as punishment, I believe to be incorrect.  I doubt God did any such thing.  I feel certain it pained Christ greatly to see many hundreds of lives snuffed out,,, many like trapped animals in a cage.  Christ probably mourns the tragedy with much the same feelings as we ourselves experience today when we think of the disaster.

     I believe that most of us, whether we be rich or poor or in-between feel that way.

     The attitude itself caused the accident; leading to what the Bible calls, "time and circumstance".  Little did the White Star Line executives, the Titanic's crew, and some of the passengers realize,,,, but with the course, speed and attitude with which they were sailing,,,,, they needed God's help,,, a miracle,,,, in averting a disaster!

     Arrogant guides with icebergs collide.
