Food for thought.
You guys are always telling me that the supernatural doesn't exist. How can you be open to something that you've already decided doesn't exist? I never said that spontaneous remission had a supernatural cause. I think it very well could and I asked what you thought. Not one atheist even admitted that it could possibly have a supernatural cause. In fact, pretty much all I got was derision for even considering it, calling it "magic" or whatever. There was no openness to the idea at all. Rather than say it could be supernatural, you'd say "we don't know, but we'll find out someday." There's a boundary there that separates you from considering any supernatural explanation. If I said anywhere that it had to be supernatural you'll have to show me.

Think of all the crap we couldn't explain, then could explain a few hundred years later. What compelling reason do I have to think anything is different?
Also, the reasons that things happen arent dependent on human ability to explain them. That's my point. When you dont know why, assume theres a reason, and admit you dont know it. The end. Making up another explanation because it makes sense to you (God) is the opposite of what you should do.
Not true. If billions of sane people attest to something, even in light of modern day science, it's worth serious consideration.
