You mean the one that involved religious zealots?
Hebrews 11:1, "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see".
If you read this verse and think carefully about what it says, you will understand faith.
Again...
Hebrews 11:1, "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see".
If you read this verse and think carefully about what it says, you will understand faith.
The doctors were unable (for days) to break my asthma spasm. Prayer was made to Jesus on my behalf, and I was instantly healed.
That is sufficient proof IMHO.
Because I was asking you. I don't have a relationship with your God. If you don't have the answer, perhaps you might ask for me and provide all of us with His response.
Are you implying that your faith is stronger than those who He doesn't heal? If so, that would be a presumptive and arrogant response.
Read the post immediately above this one.
God is sovereign. What He chooses to do or not do is entirely up to Him.
And yes, my faith was/is stronger than those whom He doesn't heal. It's irrelevant if you think that is presumptive and arrogant.
How do you measure this? Have you met all of those he hasn't healed?
That is not true. For example, careful cataloging of living and fossil species is part of science even if(before Darwin) there was no overarching theory about the diversity of life. Observational science does not require hypothesis falsification.
Reductio ad absurdum.
You do understand that repetition does not (and cannot) mean that the same identical event is repeated? If an astronomer witnesses the bending of light today, it's a new observation of a new stream of photons and obviously does not confirm (according to you) if the original observation of light bending was legit or not.
Repetition does not mean the same subject or event is repeated. It means that same pattern or trend or property can be reobserved in a new event under similar circumstances.
Brilliant deflection.

I do not understand how Reductio ad absurdum is used to measure faith...

They obviously don't use any scientific method.

Placebo and medication that takes long to kick in also explain what happened.

If I were to make use of Tucker's methodology, and my research found absolutely no conclusive evidence of reincarnation happening (presuming that I am neither manipulating the research nor making massive mistakes), how would you interpret this?
Couldn't anyone just claim that I simply didn't happen to come across any legit case, but that Tucker did? How do I do avoid this?
Because if I can't avoid that, I can never, not even in principle, debunk Tucker's work.

So you agree with me, there is no evidence, just faith, hope or similar?
