Malcolm Gladwell Explains God's Miracle
During a segment of 60 Minutes Sunday, Anderson Cooper interviewed author Malcolm Gladwell. Gladwell’s new book “David vs. Goliath’ explains how being an “underdog” is actually an advantage. The title example focuses on the Biblical example of David and Goliath. David’s victory, celebrated by members of both the Jewish and Christian faiths as an example of God’s sovereignty, is explained by simple science, according to Gladwell:
I had a conversation with this ballistics expert with the Israeli defense force, who had done the math, and pointed out that the projectile, the rock coming from David’s sling, was moving at about 35 meters per second and would have hit Goliath with the stopping power of a handgun.
So there you have it. A Biblical miracle, explained not only by science, but also by the latest paradigm advanced by one of America’s most accessible pop-social scientists.
