2) you don’t believe these Eucharistic Miracles ever occurred

If Myers conducted an experiment and the host bled, I would want to see the data and see it reproduced according to scientific method. If it really did bleed, you would have converts. Athiest and agnostics believe in things, they just require evidence.

It wouldn't be a miracle if it were reproducible in some empirically verifiable sense, would it?

***I would want to see the data and see it reproduced according to scientific method.***

And I’m telling you that’s already been done with another Eucharistic Miracle, but that evidently isn’t enough. We are talking about miracles here, not scientific experiments. The fact that a miracle has been subjected to a scientific experiment is an added bonus; most people accept miracles without scientific explanations. That’s what makes them miracles! Although my personal opinion is that all miracles have a scientific explanation, even though we may not understand what it is. God created our world without our help or understanding, but He is allowing us some insights with our scientific observations.

Have you ever compared a photograph of lightning to a picture of veins coursing through a human leg or the veins in a leaf? All look very similar in their construction.

I glimpsed a few minutes of a show the other day which examined life deep below the surface of the sea. The lights from the deep-sea camera reflecting on the tiny particles floating in the water made it appear, at first glance, to be a shot of outer space, with stars and planets dotting the universe. These similarities are not an accident.
