Skeptics and healing-miracles,pt.2


       When  skeptics investigate those Vatican- approved cures, they find no miracles. Thus, the Vatican's experts use their faith-based minds to declare miracles! With increasing medical knowledge, there should emerge fewer alleged miracles.
        Believers in the woo of miracles never produce evidence, perhaps misinterpretations of evidence. To defeat Hume's corollary on miracles to the presumption of naturalism, theists must give real evidence, not faith-based confirmation.
         Follow-ups should occur to see how long the alleged cure lasts.
        As rituals, faith-healing and exorcisms are constitutional but as medical claims, the law should ban them due to their harm.
         Why would God provide miracles such as weeping statues when people are dying from evils? Why would He help a person find keys and yet lets millions die in wars?
       Actually, miracles rank with claims of the paranormal: scientists have pressing matters to entertain ,not research on woo.
