A Divine Arrival: A Whale Shark’s Sacrifice on the Shores of Gaza

Religious nut jobs take everything even slightly unusual as a “sign from God”, or Allah in this case.
Let me ask you something, if God was trying to send a message, what exactly does a large, dead, fish on a beach say?
@I_Has_A_Hat Let me ask you something, how many whale sharks have stranded on the shores of the mediterranean sea in recorded human history?
Let me ask you something, why does that matter? Just because something rare or unusual happens doesn’t mean it’s from Allah. If it’s a sign or a blessing, what exactly is the message of a giant dead fish on a beach?
A bird has never hit my window. But if a hawk suddenly hit my window and died, I wouldn’t take it as a sign from above. Even if someone calculated how small the chances were for a hawk, out of all the other bird species, to hit MY window, out of all the many windows that exist, it still wouldn’t be a sign. It would just be a thing that happened. Strange and unusual, yes. But strange and unusual things happen EVERY DAY. A one time occurrence is a cool story, but that’s it. It’s not a message from God, it’s just a dead animal.
