how to explain church miracles?
#9
RE: how to explain church miracles?
What the others have already said, plus this. It's easy to fool people into thinking you have some special insight when you make vague statements and let their own mind fill in the blanks. For example, you connected your parents buying you a dog with the pronouncement that you are going to be blessed. The church guy didn't mention the dog (at least from the information you provided) - you did that yourself and then wondered how this guy could have known.

I see nothing miraculous in anything you mention here, nor any reason to leap instantly to such a conclusion that you think requires an explanation, particularly when we can only base our speculations on the information you choose to share because none of us were present at the time.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
