It has been already proved, hence why you took the misquoted quote in question, out of your signature.

I can't, I don't know how it works. The reason I didn't bother answering you in the first place was because its painfully obvious you are trying to slot god in there. Arguement from ignorance, its not good.

Sudden remission is not impossible and is documented, we don't understand why and again, this doesn't give you a reason to insert god.

Belief and faith are two different things. Now there isn't any point addressing the rest of what you said.

So a tumour shrinking is a miracle?

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
