My responses in this thread has nothing to do with convincing people about the existence or non-existence of God. I only want to present accurate information about observations in the natural world. This means the following: 1. I want to tell you that the claims that any of these "miracles" were investigated by following proper scientific procedures are false. I have given you reasons and provided you with evidence for this contention. 2. I want to demonstrate that those who claim scientific legitimacy for their belief in the authenticity of these "miracles" are being misled by bogus pronouncements in propaganda publications and on the internet because they refuse to or are not able to critically evaluate these pronouncements. For example, lack of understanding of biology leads them not to realize that a human being with type AB blood cannot be haploid (possess only 22 autosomes instead of 44). Ignorance about what is meant by the method of science leads to them to believe that the simple use of any chemical test is enough to claim that an intense scientific procedure was followed. 3. I want to let you know that an absolute faith in the goodness and virtuousness of a pious person belonging to their religion leads many people not to be skeptical of his/her claims, not to accept that he/she is capable of deception. The reality is that all cases that have been properly investigated scientifically, have turned out to be instances of outright deception or self-deception. 4. In the case of the Korean "miracle", I want to point out that the Church authorities themselves have rejected it as fraudulent, and warned against its propagation among their followers. Cheers, Santosh
