Personally, I think the world would have been better off without it. But some, sadly, need religion. They need "truth" fabricated, instead of thinking for themself. I take the evidence presented to me, and come to a conclusion based on facts. "Faith" is a word to keep the illution of truth at place. I KNOW most disagree, since many are religious. Religion has done some good, but in my opinion, it has done far more evil.
Well here is an example, that happened within the last 5 year or so, a man had some complications with his eyes and had to have double catarax surgery, and eventually he had more problems and became blind, after he became blind, he prayed everyday to a saint by the name of Theodore Guerin that she would give him the gift of sight, weeks or so later he was able to see, he went to the eye doctor and they told him that there was no way that he would ever be able to get his sight back and that he did not understand how he got it back...so to make a long story short, man prayes to higher power and great things happen
If you get some hard proof to back that up, then it would be interesting. Otherwise, it is just like another one of the "Miracle Happens!" e-mails your grandmother would send you.
Even with proof, this does not imply divine intervention. You hear these types of stories all the time about people being miraculously cured of their ailments. There are 2 problems with this idea: 1) Miracles can in no way be reproduced. The typical response to this is an ad-hoc hypothesis, something like "Well, god didn't want to answer that prayer for some reason." But this makes this theory unverifiable. 2) It is far more likely that we just don't understand everything that we need to about the functioning of the human body. Doctors make inaccurate predictions ALL THE TIME.
If you want to call a miracle the occurrence of an event that by our current standards is not very probably, then fine. But this in no way implies divine intervention.
well i actually do have some proof just read about Philip McCord under the miracles section at near the bottom, go to this site http://www.americancatholic.org/Messenger/Nov2006/Feature2.asp i dont't think i told the story right but i was told it a long time ago and didn't remember it well
