It's quite evident that the self styled 'Godly' types among us are getting more & more worried.

But the Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and received sight so they asked his parents, "is this your son, who was born blind?" How does he now see? And his parents answered, "We know that he is our son and that he was born blind, by what means he now sees, we know not, he is of age; ask him. So they called the man that was blind . . . What did he do how did he open your eyes? I told you already, and you didn't hear: do you want to hear it again? Here is a marvelous thing, that you don't know where that man is from, but he has opened my eyes . . . Since the world began it has never been heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
