All these things are possible because Quantum Mechanics is true, if it wasn't... none of your electronic devices would work. Say goodbye to circuit boards and everything that requires them. Say goodbye to Xrays, Microwaves, PET Scans and many, many other things would simply not work.
Maybe the scientists are lying? Maybe there is an explanation of why these things work which we havn't found out yet that makes more sense and it is just a coincidence. You know the same way people who are healed are lying or its some big coincidence everytime.

Quote:You would need more than stories - if you are really to believe that anecdotal evidence is sufficient then why aren't you also a Muslim and a Buddhist? They have plenty of anecdotal evidence too! What about people who have felt better after having their body thetans removed? You should probably become a scientologist too... after all, there is so much anecdotal evidence! Oh, what about all the people who hav e seen Ghosts? Or talked to the dead? What about Alien investigations? We better believe all of it because the anecdotal evidence is just too fucking impressive right?
When I hear personal stories of these things I will rethink how link it in to what I believe. When a Hindu girl I know told me about an apprent miracle she saw I took it into account of my worldview since I had no reason to think she was lying etc. I think I would tend to 'true until proven false' rather than 'false till proven true'. Of course Im not open to any random story, but if it seems like it could be true maybe it should be considered.
And on the whole placebo thing, you cant test God like a kind of magic which does whatever you want.

Someone I know. I have met her a few times, but those few times lasted a long time. If that makes any sense lol.
Quote:Ok have you seen the opticians report? was she wearing the wrong type of spectacles? had she previously had a head injury from birth onwards?
No. They would have to someone elses glasses from them to make that much difference lol. From birth I believe.
Quote:What is the time period from preying to her english GCE? did she have extra tutoring during this period? did she prior have any external "special needs" tutors? did she have a "scribe" while she sat her exam?
Is she a christian/believer? (this question is important)
Did she/her family/pastor/someone else tell you this story?
I think the point is that it would be impossible to do the GCSE and get that grade with her condition even considering those things you said. Yeah shes a christian. She told me.
