CNN’s Don Lemon wonders whether God took the plane to Heaven.

CNN anchor Don Lemon and Decoded host Brad Meltzer bandied about the idea Sunday afternoon that something “beyond our understanding” happened to Malaysia Airlines flight MH 370, that “something” being perhaps supernatural maybe?

“Especially today, on a day when we deal with the supernatural,” Lemon said. “We go to church, the supernatural power of God…people are saying to me, why aren’t you talking about the possibility — and I’m just putting it out there — that something odd happened to this plane, something beyond our understanding?”

“People roll their eyes at conspiracy theories, but what conspiracy theories do is they ask the hardest, most outrageous questions sometimes, but every once in a while they’re right,” Meltzer said.

“You can say, ‘Oh, it crashed into the ocean,’” Meltzer continued. “But where are the parts? Where are the pieces? Why did it keep going for seven hours? Why do you have a guy on board who gives his watch and his ring to his wife and says ‘Keep these for my boys in case something happens to me’? And that’s not some stranger, he was a mechanical engineer. Something smells wrong.”

Would delight me to have the boys from space show up in my lifetime. But I doubt it.

I know in my heart we can't be the only planet in the universe to support life. Gawd forbid we're the more advanced, though.

And they were primarily Asians, many of them Muslims.

Somehow I doubt the rapture theorists are going to buy into that.

My god, and we wonder why this country is being dumbed down. This is what passes for "news"?
