Nope I haven't. I was thinking about writing a story from one of by best friend's girlfriend but it's really not mine to tell you know what I mean? I could possibly butcher it or get some facts wrong. For what it's worth I'll tell it to you but just know that this from my best friend's girlfriend.
She told me this a couple months ago over a Skype conversation with my best friend. She was raised in the church but hasn't been following God since she moved out (which was 3 years ago). She came from a very conservative background and didn't believe that God could do supernatural things. Anyways, she went to Mexico on a missions trip and ran into a group of YWAMers (missions organization) who were at the same place as them. Through a series of events a mother accidentally dropped her baby on the fire. The baby suffered burns all over its body. The YWAMers gathered together and prayed for it and she watched as the baby's burns disappeared. At this time she did not believe God could do this. The YWAMers continued to pray for other sick people in the area and my friend's girlfriend was describing to me how she saw a man's arm grow back...she said it was the weirdest thing and freaked her right out.
She's very distressed because she doesn't really believe in God. She's been raised her whole life in a Christian little box but now that she's moved out she has walked away from what she was raised as. But she has an internal dilemma which she was telling me about: she doesn't think that she believes in God but she believes in the supernatural because of the crazy things that she saw which have stuck with her.
This is the story that she told me. As far as I can see she has no reason to lie. She's not trying to prove anything. Yet this is from a third source so feel free to take it or leave it.
Love ya

How can one debate the utterly delusional? He's a fruit cake - which is common among jesus freaks....speaking of which we seem to have exhibit "B" of that ilk right above.
Oh, boy. "Science" is under no obligation to explain why your fantasies can come true with "faith." The problem is yours to explain how faith can do jack shit.
It's called "burden of proof" and you seem to have no comprehension of it.
Sorry man. Just calling it as I see it. I understand the dilemma you have and the lack of proof I have.
Love ya
