seizures can blind someone temporarily and the praying is just a coincidence and let's remember we only have Paul's word this happened and even  if it were not a seizure their are plenty of things he could have been suffering from to explain the hallucination he experienced and the others are not eyewitness so claiming they were there is not evidence .

Sure can, but you're not claiming that what Paul reported can be explained by occipital lobe lobe epilepsy, are you?

I doubt you've read a full description of such epilepsy then and compared it to Paul's account, because overall they don't match.

They sometime interact with people in the physical universe, and those people report the interactions.

You mean Luke's three mutually incompatible accounts of Paul's alleged experience? Lol. 

I don't look at descriptions of medical events and expect them to square the exegetical circle of your holy book. Why would I?
