The point is if the priest is taking an unlit candle out of view and coming back with it it lit and he is the only one in the room, then him lighting it seems like the best explanation.
I am not really concerned about how it is lit. I am more curious about scientific explanations of cool-burning fire. I'm sorry if my initial post wasn't clearer.
This also seems obvious, the candle is obviously dipped in something that burns cool, as this solution burns off the flame gets gradually hotter.
Why wouldn't how the candles lit make a difference, after all the spontaneous lighting of the candle is a big part of the alleged miracle? If they are faking the lighting of the candle why what would make you think that the cool burning part is a miracle from god?
