Natural explanations to former supernatural ideas

This could sometimes be explained by the placebo effect, a rush of adrenaline that fools the person and those around long enough to think they are cured. It still goes on today sadly with things like "the Lightning process" for ME. Fucking con, it's disgusting.

And, err.... yeah. The sun standing still thing almost certainly just didn't happen. Like many other things in the bible, a story only.

I think that the languages and the demon possessions are the 2 best I have heard so far. Some people seem to confuse miracles though and natural phenomenons. Like is it probable that a man could walk on water? No, but if this was the son of god it might be. So yes, you would have to presuppose a god for many of those miracles to be possible. What do you think about when the bible mentions the earth hanging upon nothing? In Job 26:7
