Your Opinions On The Hindu Milk Miracle.
July 17, 2010 at 9:06 am
The Hindu milk miracle was a phenomenon, considered by many Hindus as a miracle, which occurred on September 21, 1995. Before dawn, a Hindu worshiper at a temple in south New Delhi made an offering of milk to a statue of Ganesha. When a spoonful of milk from the bowl was held up to the trunk of the statue, the liquid was seen to disappear, apparently taken in by the idol. Word of the event spread quickly, and by mid-morning it was found that statues of the entire Hindu pantheon in temples all over North India were taking in milk.
I wondered what your views are on this phenomenon.

This is one of those stories that, in today's age, would have been debunked a thousand times over on YouTube.

Some have suggested that the statues were made of a porous material which abosrbed the milk. Otherwise, it could be a complete fabrication. Even if it did happen, it's pretty paltry evidence for the existence of any deity. In the old days, God parted seas and raised the dead; now he's reduced to making his face/his son's face appear on pieces of toast, and to making elephant statues drink small quantities of milk. Praise the Lord!

Odd, I don't recall hearing that story back in '95, and it would've made the news.
