Some years ago, during mid winter, a man was having a phone conversation with a friend, a staunch atheist, whom he had not seen in several weeks. The friend's father lived in a town quite some distance from the city where they both lived. The man had not seen his friend's father since late summer. The man told his friend to travel home to visit his father during the coming weekend, because it would be the last opportunity for the friend to see him. The friend did so, and his father was in good health at the time. However, on the Monday afternoon, the father developed a chest infection - and on the Wednesday morning died of pneumonia.
So - ridicule away. What plausible explanation do you advance for the man's action - other than a supernatural ability to foretell the future?
