Sir Isaac Newton was just thinking about apple under an apple tree when he came across gravitatiinal forces

Albert Einstien was just staring at a train through his window pane when he came about Relativity theory...thats d theory that conquered death.

So dude u see how thinking about unimportant things brought about monumental changes in human history.
So dude just shut up

It was just a superstitious believe,that when people sneeze.the devil want to take the soul of the person...so,to prevent the devil from stealing the soul.the incantation"bless you" was uttered to release the soul from the devil to it's rightful owner.

Whenever one's soul is commanded to appear in a spiritual mirror, the spirit responds through physical action of sneezing. Not all sneezing has spiritual connotation attached to it...some are especially early morning, noon and midnight

Then yelling Jesus' name should have been the appropriate reaction
