What does that have to do with the topic of this thread?Are you familiar with the art of amanuensis?
I have always found that to be an . . . . interesting comment. If I replaced the word God with Thor in that same passage, and you read it, would you become a believer in Thor? Probably not, right? If it wouldn't convince you to believe in a god you presently don't believe in, why do you think it would convince us?
It means someone can be the author of something that someone else typed.What about it?
It's also known that soldiers in some of the most horrific scenes, witnessing horrors untold would evoke the name of God -- even if it were just to say, "OH MY GOD!!!!!"

In her case, it's called "dictation" or "mechanical inspiration."
