That image of St.Bernadette is a WAX mask. That is NOT her face. Do you do ANY research at all?

Why is it that you do not do research before publishing these? Why would you rather like a tabloid, print the sensationalistic version when often these events have very prosaic causes?

Arguing with religious people is pointless Skepticalpete. Someone who believes something on faith alone and is willing to what other people tell them as unalienable truth isn’t going to respond to your attempts at logic. I think this list has many interesting points, but I think many of them could have scientific explanations (I’d very much like to have someone do an autopsy on one of those non-decaying corpses) such as mass hysteria or a hoax. Christianity as a whole has to many discrepancies for me to have ever put faith in it, though my father didn’t have faith so why would he try to indoctrinate me? But one of the most interesting lists on this site is 10 Christ Like Figures who Pre-Date Christ. That list amuses me, as well as the fact that most of the people who wrote about Jesus did so 40 years later and likely had never met him. Which is why the Bible is not a reliable historical document. Its kind of like the Iliad or the Odyssey. Good stories, but filled with myth that had been passed to people via word of mouth until someone decided to write it all down. Also, Roman census documents have no record of ‘Jesus’ though a ‘Christ’ (The Anointed One) does show up and was executed by crucifiction. So what was I getting at? Faith is incredibly foolish. Don’t take someone’s word for it. Question everything. Just because most people think it doesn’t mean its right.

Wow….I haven’t knew that stigmata is really true. I thought it was just a movie. Scientists have explanation for every miracle happened to us. While Roman Catholic church has their own explanation after a long investigation, if it is made by God or evil. I’ve seen a lot miracles happened here in our country. About Mary and Jesus images in rose petals, trees, walls and other stuffs like that. But God doesn’t need more of that. I believe that miracle is within us. I have experienced it so many times. And I believe it is a miracle. That’s how I believe in God.

Hume said it best: the laws of nature are so regular that it is FAR more improbable that a miracle occurred than not. This alone is a HEAVY consideration against ANY miracle.

It is FAR more likely that one or more of the following occurred:
1. you’re being scammed
2. that witnesses’ experienced optical illusion
3. that testimony was corrupted
4. that witnesses saw what they wanted to see

And you can’t appeal to faith: it doesn’t decide anything. Christians have faith that THEY are right and that others are wrong, the Jews have faith that the Christians are wrong, the Muslims have faith that the other two are wrong, etc. (And don’t say that these religions are the same. Islam holds that the Bible is corrupted, and Jews reject Christ as being THE messiah).

I was searching for miracle about the New Orleans Saints when I found this site. I believe a miracle happenned when the Saints defeated the Washington Redskins in overtime. Saints came in with an 11-0 record and the Skins only had 3 wins, but Washington played like demons. The part that is a miracle was that to even the tv commentors the game was over with 1:29 left to play and the Saints down by 7 points.
But they did pull it off and my theory is that theor are more fans who actually believed that the team could win in this seemingly imppossible situation. Fans of previous years would have said “Same old Saints”.
I think the Laws of Attraction are at work here-You get what you focus on.
It seems crazy I know. I detail my theory in depth at my site http://www.superbowlsaints.net

You know, “to believe is to see” may be more appropriate than “to see is to believe”. That’s why miracles happen, because people belive they can happen. that’s why Jesus performed miracles, not to make people believe in Him, but because people did believe Him (it’s in the Bible).

As the song says “There Can Be Miracles, If You Believe.” ^-^
