By not doing what I asked you to do -- that is, to set up a proper examination where religious bias cannot interfere -- you are making it rather difficult to properly answer that question.
Quote: It completely defies science no matter who's incorrupt body we are speaking about. They are on display all over Europe for you to go see.
No, it does not "completely [defy] science." It completely avoids science. I also have no interest in looking at bodies on display unless it's for the purpose of being an observer at a medical/biochemical experiment on those bodies, and somehow I doubt the custodians of the bodies would permit that to happen.
There are also "incorruptible bodies" in Buddhism, by the way. Whatever they really are, they aren't unique to Catholicism. Get over yourselves.
It appears to me you are just making excuses for not looking into this phenomena.
There are no incorruptibles in Buddhism or any other so-called religion. Every time they have been found over the last 2000 years (I recall reading there are about 250 of them), they have all been found to be devout Catholics who have not been embalmed. You can stay there at your keyboard and remain bitter for the rest of your life, or you can get out and take a vacation and look into these things. No one is going to do the work for you or pay for your plane ticket - it's up to you.
