CBN documentary!
So the doctor revived a sick man with modern medicine and then credited God with healing him because he prayed.
And this is the case that CBN has been pushing for years now. The saddest thing is that they are exploiting Dr. Crandall who, let's say, cracked six years prior when he lost his son to leukemia and decided to believe in haven. I guess it's not much different than Arthur Conan Doyle.
Quote:New Documentary Explores Miracle Case of Man Who Died for 40 Minutes
Investigating the Supernatural: Miracles, hosted by CBN investigative journalist Billy Hallowell, examines miracle claims through the lens of science and the testimony of those who experienced them.
"Even though I'm a Christian, I'm always a little skeptical," Hallowell told Crosswalk Headlines.
But when it came to the claims he examines in the documentary, he said he was left with "no other explanation" than this: God was at work.
One such miracle involved a claim by cardiologist Chauncey Crandall that prayer had helped bring life to a patient who was declared dead. That patient, Jeff Markin, suffered a massive heart attack in 2006.
Crandall, the emergency room doctor that day, said Markin was dead for 40 minutes.
"They pronounce Jeff Markin dead, and Dr. Crandall leaves the room and starts going on his way. But as this doctor is leaving the room to walk away, he suddenly feels a prompting from God -- that's how he described it -- to go back and pray for Jeff Markin," Hallowell said. "He ignores that prompting. And then again, he feels God say to him, 'Go back and pray for that man.'"
Crandall returned to the room, prayed for Markin, and told the medical personnel to shock Markin's heart.
"They shock him. He immediately gets a perfect heart rate back. And not only that, [but] two days later, Jeff Markin wakes up. He [also] has a near-death experience," Hallowell said.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
