okay, but why would they all become believers? There was some kind of natural phenomenon as well, like a vision that all of them saw, or something.
If there was a story in media sources that, say, a hundred people witnessed the Sun suddenly dropping down behind the horizon, would you take it seriously? I mean everything in the media should be taken with a grain or two of salt. When I hear or read a story like that the needle of my bogusometer just flies off the scale.
