For everyone so quick to dismiss this as either a “crock” or just the normal crocodile behavior, which it is not, did any of you ever think of God? We frequently use the platitudes, “God works in mysterious ways”, “ God will never give you more than you can handle”, etc. Well maybe someone one that rescue crew had turned from God, bur upon witnessing this miracle goes on to bring faith and hope to countless other who feel hopeless and lost. Is it possible the mother, could survive the loss, but she would not have been able to handle never finding her son?

Beyond the hypocrisy of not believing in our own day to day platitudes, writing this off so easily and not even considering the possibility of God, how is that any different than those who would dismiss the miracles of Jesus as a “crock”?

Miracles happen every day, whether big, small, obvious, or hidden from view. in no way am I saying this is a miracle, a strange crock with a disease affecting its behavior, or a total con. The truth is I have no idea, but I was truly surprised to see that not one freeper so much as considered the possibility of God in this scenario ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌

That’s basically what I said to my gf before reading your comment. Miracles happen. No way to know if this was really one of them.

If the boy had been alive, it would have been more “miraculous.”

The older I get I become less jaded about the possibility that unusual events are divine in origin.

A spiritual explanation occurred to me as well. A villager reincarnated as the crocodile, boy’s spirit talking to the animal, some sort of enlightened beast, or just a good old fashioned miracle. Take your pick. That it never occcured to folks on here shows just how far American conservatives have gone away from Christianity or religion in general.
