"Thank God for the miracle that we had," she said. "He keeps telling me that it just wasn't his time."
Now, I challenge those non-believers to prove that there's a scientific explanation for his survival supported by facts, not theories.

it isn't a fact that it was divine intervention either...so that isn't a valid request.
BUT, since you asked.
the force could easily have been distributed just depending on the angle the scaffalding (sp?) hit the ground. chances are, if the thing was at any real angle, the man's feet were not even on the ground. If his feet aren't even and one is higher/lower than the other, the body naturally makes the body go limp(ish) because it senses the vulnerability of the spine. If he is limp it makes it more difficult for any nervous/muscle issues and it is just bones breaking. as long as he has no major head trauma, it really isn't that crazy that he lived, just more crazy that he may be able to walk and such.
if you would like to test my theory, stand on the ground even and put your left arm out. have someone push down on this arm and you will resist. If you put your foot on a book or something (just one foot, your right foot I believe will yield the results i'm talking about but i'm not positive off hand) and do the same thing, you won't be able to resist the pushing down of the other person because your body naturally limps out (like may have happened in the window washer situation)

Yet the doctors, who are doctors, said him surviving and the injuries being as minor as they were is unexplainable.
I agree here, God was watching over someone.

as much as I will say there is a god...
I HATE when people try to explain something by saying it must have been a miracle.
maybe it was just coincidence? what made this guy more special than his brother?

Only a higher god knows the answer to that. :shrug:

But his brother who was falling from the same scaffolding at the same height and at the same time did not survive. I guess his body - for whatever reason - did not "limp out".

he could have fallen off of the scaffolding. the story mentioned something about maybe this brother who survived was holding onto it.
he could have also simply hit the railing of it in a way that he ended up taking more force than he could stand.
we can say hypotheticals all day.
someone asked for a scientific explanation...I gave one. I'm not saying it's what happened, i'm saying that there is an equally good chance that this is explainable scientifically as there is the option of calling it a "miracle".

Why is it, that whenever the explanation for something is not immediately forthcoming it's always attributed to "god"?
Not enough details here. Did the cables break or did the clutch partially give out causing the drop. Was there tension on something to slow the fall or was it a full free fall from 500 ft? If it was a full out free fall with no other factors then I would be impressed. If the scaffolding was still partially gripping the cable it would have slowed the fall. OBTW my Dad fell from I think about 60 foot. He was stripping columns for the capitol center when they were building that, fell from the second or third highest column.
