Awesome story, Dave!
"Christianity," says Bishop Wilson, "inscribes on the portal of her dominion 'Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in nowise enter therein.' Christianity does not profess to convince the perverse and headstrong, to bring irresistible evidence to the daring and profane, to vanquish the proud scorner, and afford evidences from which the careless and perverse cannot possibly escape. This might go to destroy man's responsibility. All that Christianity professes, is to propose such evidences as may satisfy the meek, the tractable, the candid, the serious inquirer." http://www.woundedheart.org/sgtestimony.htm

God worked in that man that night.

A cool head mixed with common sense. As he realized a nuclear attack would hardly have been limited to a mere 5 missiles. Thank God his instincts were good.

It's a wonder this is not common knowledge....it ought to be a cautionary tale imo.

Good thing the error didn't make it look like more than five missiles launched.

Makes you wonder how many other false alarms and close calls there has been. IIRC during the Cuban Missile Crisis our systems incorrectly detected incoming missiles from the Soviet Union.

I think there have been a few of those, though imagine what might have happened if something like the Tunguska event happened during the Cold War, something that in the early years could easily have been mistaken for a nuclear detonation.

The interesting thing for me is that the man was a scientist and had been trained to analyze data. He wasn't "a man of faith" at all, at least not in the system he represented or in the tools employed by that system. In some ways this story is a cautionary tale for all of us who have faith, but never doubt.
May the darkness of sin and the night of unbelief vanish before the light of the word and the spirit of grace, and may the heart of Jesus live in the hearts of all.
