-Removed-You call up your chosen model of reality and apply it to the situation. Depending on your choice, it either comes out as a miracle, or as a natural event not in accord with current, provisional scientific theory (all scientific theories being provisional by definition). Of course, this is assuming your assessment doesn't result in declaring it a hoax or false report.
-Removed-Anything our relatively primitive brains cannot comprehend is termed a miracle. Everything has a rational, scientific explanation - it's just that we do not have the science yet to explain so called miraculous events.

Originally posted by Rajk999There are healers, but there's no miracle involved. When our understanding of the subtle and powerful nature of the brain improves we will understand how these so called "miracle" cures occur.
Double post for emphasis ? I agree its a crock .. YES.
Maybe not 100%. Im sure there are the gifted out there capable of healing people but those are few and far between. Its too easy for scrupulous people to fool the gullible that they are healers.

the blind see. the sick are cured, now if they are at a hospital, we praise [and righly] the doctors. So if it happens without any human touch, praise the lord
edit: accountability, not blame.

-Removed-Miracle healings happen daily. The only question is, from whence are they healed? In addition, just because we may know the bodily mechnism for such healing, is the very fact that the body has a propensity to heal itself not a miracle?
No matter the claims of those who say they have been healed by God, whether it be true or false, you will always have doubters.

Originally posted by whodeyI think opening the door to miracles leads to the conclusion that everything is a miracle. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Originally posted by JS357Are there no instances where doctors are speechless as to someones recovery? It seems to me that there are. By such a definition then miracles exist.
