[QUOTE="partinobodycular, post: 76500149, member: 435281"] I don't either, but I would hope that some independent expert has. It's not a problem that I myself haven't had a chance to examine the evidence, but if no one has, then that's a problem. Personally I wouldn't know the first thing about questioning your experts' opinions, but I do want to see the opinion of someone who can question them. Without that second, third, or fourth opinion the expert's claims lack a degree of credibility. And in the case of the miraculous, credibility is crucial. The greater the number of skeptical eyes corroborating the evidence the better. Notice...I specifically said skeptical eyes. You're darn right I am, and I'm quite sure that there are a great number of highly qualified people who are just as skeptical as I am, but like me they haven't seen anything but claims, and so are unconvinced. Do you think that every expert in pathology will agree with your expert's opinion, especially without having had the opportunity to examine the evidence for themselves? And if they won't accept it out of hand, then why should I? I like scientific evidence too, but unlike you I'm not willing to accept extraordinary claims without a similarly extraordinary level of evidentiary scrutiny. Skepticism is crucial to sound judgment. Once you lose that, which you seem to have done, your judgment understandably becomes suspect. I realize that I've given you a high hurdle to clear, but in the case of miracles the height is warranted. [/QUOTE]
