Catholic miracles

[Heywood]

Author Brian Dunning has done extensive research and claims that "there is no documentation or witness accounts confirming his leg was ever gone." He presents a non-miraculous explanation that Pellicer's leg did not develop gangrene during the five days at the hospital at Valencia. He spent the next 50 days convalescing, during which he was unable to work. He turned to begging, and discovered that having a broken leg was a boon. After his leg had mended, he decided that if a broken leg helped, a missing leg would be better. Traveling to Zaragoza, he bound his right foreleg up behind his thigh and for two years played the part of an amputee beggar. Later, back at his parents home in Calanda, forced to sleep in a different bed, his ruse was discovered. The story of the miracle was a way to save face. Dunning asserts "that no evidence exists that his leg was ever amputated — or that he was even treated at all — at the hospital in Zaragoza other than his own word. He named three doctors there, but for some reason there is no record of their having been interviewed by either the delegation or the trial."[3] However, Dunning is mistaken about the facts of the trial; Juan de Estanga and others from the hospital did testify to the treatment of Miguel Juan and to the amputation.

In order to dismiss this "miracle", Dunning has to propose new details and then assume these new details are in fact are true. I propose that it is just happenstance that every time the speed of a photon is measured in a vacuum, it turns out to be 186,000 miles per second. Since my proposal is assumed to be true....I just debunked the notion that the speed of light in vacuum is constant. See how easy it is to debunk anything if you can make up any details you want and then assume them to be true?

If all you consider is just the evidence available then it appears an amputee had his limb restored. I am not saying I believe it(I don't). I am just saying there is evidence to support the claim that an amputee has his limb restored thru Divine intervention. You really don't desire that a miracle happen just once. What you want is for a miracle to happen just once when you are around to witness it.
