So has schizophrenia
And how exactly was a non-miraculous explanation discounted? Doctors often say that a person is beyond hope, yet they pull through despite the odds.
I dont think they came up with one. They just said there was no explanation. One week she had an aggressive cancer that was allover her lungs and had spread to her brain and other organs. The church was praying for a miracle and a few weeks later she had no cancer. It was completely gone, not a trace. So is it a coincidence that people were praying and she was healed or was it something else. I know they say the power of positive thinking can make a difference or that some cancers can regress and just about disappear. But they are normally not major cancers and there has even been misdiagnosis that was the reason why the cancer had gone because it wasn't there in the first place. But this was full blown and as cancers do they rot and eat away and deteriorate the lungs and other organs. So not only had the cancer gone it also made all the decayed organs new again.
But how do you explain that the organs renew themselves without any scar tissue as well. Anyway even if its in the head or the prayer triggers some chemical reaction in the body so what. If it works it works. I'm sure Kathleen Evens wasnt questioning anything.Those spontaneous remissions happen, and they do not correlate with the amount of prayer directed at the cancers. We are not yet aware what causes them, but the body is very much able to destroy tissue (which is why people who get an organ donation need to take meds so they body doesn't attack the organ). And these remissions, as I said, also happen to people of other faiths, or without any faith at all. And some very religious people get prayed for time and time again and they just die of cancer, anyway.

The placebo effect doesn't work on all people, yet it works.
Scientists should question this, though, because if they can find out what causes these things, amazing medical procedures could result from that, maybe even the cure for cancer itself.
Right?

This is silly. When matters get to the point where the natural CANNOT explain what happened you retract to natural possibilities anyway AND bring in the troops you put trust in, scientists, rather than facing Him on High. Unbelief can make grown people silly.

Do you believe in miracles.
Yes, but HOW does it work? Are there chemicals secreted that make it work? If yes, those could be used as a medicine of their own.

So I say, when He reveals Himself you will encounter Power you can clearly distinguish from Natural. I have seen one Naturalist after another struggle over this "is it possibly to distinguish Supernatural from natural" issue. I know what they do not know, and see there dilemma of uncertainty. I also see rampant doubt claim that I must have been tricked, was imagining, was hallucinating, and the list goes on.
