The physicist George Gamow related in his autobiography how, as a boy, he once saved the bread he had been given during communion, ran home, and examined it under a microscope. He credited this incident as being the origin of his atheism.

As for the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano, the claim that since some objects are found to be real flesh and blood, this somehow proves that a miracle occurred 1300 years ago, just shows how incredibly gullible many people are.

You said: ...just shows how incredibly gullible many people are.

As opposed to just showing how incredibly lacking in faith many people are.

Now who's being gullible?

As for the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano, the claim that since some objects are found to be real flesh and blood, this somehow proves that a miracle occurred 1300 years ago, just shows how incredibly gullible many people are.

Some objects? The "objects" in question were a validly consecrated host and a chalice filled with wine. You quit the thread before seeing this post.

Gullible? You have no problem believing that Jesus Christ is God but don't believe what He said. Either He spoke the Truth or He lied. Which is it?
