Sun miracle

RE: Sun miracle
There is no way to do that . but it was said to happen months before it did one that specific date and it happened as told. it was also told that ww1 would end on the same date but it did not. the people did not stare at the sun for hours the girl exclaimed LOOK AT SUN and they looked and saw a silver disk emerge from the clouds around the sun.

I trust Joe nickell I met him once at Skepticon once he is an atheist and a skeptic.

Which would be a shame, if no murder was committed, don't you think?  Thankfully, we're not sending anyone to jail for life because a hundred thousand people saw the sun move in the sky when it didn't.

Oh FFS, again?!

Here, read: http://www.deuslovult.org/2009/05/19/mil...-o-seculo/

Then tell me about what happened there.
But please don't tell me about what people dreamed after the fact.

I do not like the credulous nore do i like dismissers or debunkers. be investigators

I think it is more likely you utterly misunderstand what happened.  This is not a claim being made by "70,000 people".  This is a claim being made by the Catholic Church.  You are confusing "a bunch of people were there" with "all those people made this claim".

Next, claiming magic happened is not evidence that magic happened.  I don't need to prove magic didn't happen because all scientific tests done EVER have failed to produce the faintest scrap of evidence for the existence of magic.  Since all previous claims of magic throughout all of history have failed to produce any evidence that magic is real it can be safely assumed that all claims of magic are equally uncompelling.  That is how reality works.  If I tell you that I have a fairy in a jar you needn't bother asking me to go get the jar to call me a dumbass and a liar.  You can safely assume that I am a dumbass and a liar because you can be more than reasonably certain fairies are not real.  The same is true for magic.

Do you have a clue how many people have made ludicrous claims to me in my life?  Do you have a clue how many degrees I would have by now if I became an expert in every field in which a claim was made?  Do you have a clue how much time and money I would waste "being an investigator"?  I spent a few years looking into ridiculous claims.  I have done my "investigating".  I have even looked into this bullshit.  They had cameras back then.  Did you know pictures were taken then?  Did you know that EVERY SINGLE ONE was of the crowd, which was usually staring intently at the sky?  There's some crazy magic shit going on in the sky (which not everyone claimed to have seen, by the way) and the photographer always, without fail, takes a picture of the people looking at the crazy magic shit?  Because if I saw a UFO hovering above my house my very first thought would be, "I have to get a picture of the kids faces while they look at this thing!  Let me just make sure the alien craft isn't in the frame, ruining the shot..."

I don't prove things are not.  You prove things are.  Prove I'm not a god.  Prove I'm not a clone.  Prove I'm not an alien.  Prove I'm not an alien god clone.  Those are all stupid requests.  You have no reason to believe any of those claims, so why should you prove any of them false.  What's more, how could you?  How could you prove I'm not a god?  Check my DNA?  I made it look human with my magic.  Shoot me?  Jesus bled and died and he was a god.  YOU CAN NOT prove what is not.  So why do you ask it?  Because you also can't prove your ridiculous claim.
Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately?  Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use.  Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel.  Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.

And the fact that it's part of the pope's job to keep people believing isn't a problem for you?
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.'

Well, the common factor (apart from the silly snark at the end) is the journalist. I suggest starting there.

RE: Sun miracle
If a b and c are the only options..and the question is which is more likely...then A and and B take the cake, no matter how unlikely they may be, themselves...which is, to me, the most amusing part of this whole thing. 70k people lying or being deceived is, for a great many not-exactly-profound reasons....orders of magnitude more likely than the supernatural. That -should- inform people who ask such questions as to the substance of supernatural claims, but it never does.
