[quote=Anonymous]No one here seems to understand why these little numerical coincidences are exciting.

Millions upon millions of people Googled John 3:16 after the game.  Tebow brought the message of that verse to millions of people because he lives his faith.  That's God's grace at work.  "Preach the gospel at all times.  When necessary, use words."

Grace is always at work in our lives.  Sometimes we notice, and sometimes we don't.  When we are in a bad way, the grace feels and looks repulsive, like when an unrepentant alcoholic is faced with an intervention and lashes out at everyone there--"it's you, not me!"

Sally Jenkins, at the Post, had an interesting take on why Tebow upsets people so much:

"When Tebow kneels on the field, his religion becomes challengingly present. Tebow doesn’t have to get into a bunch of Jesus Talk to put you or me in an uncomfortable state of mind. It’s more subtle than that. Murray suggests, if I have a reaction to the Knee, it’s because [b]Tebow implies “that there is something in the universe over and above the natural which deserves my attention, allegiance, or honor and I find that distasteful or irritating.[/b]”"
