So folks need a problem solver that can work w/o evidence? Why is it that they need an invisible one?

It gives more freedom to human imagination to create pink elephants.

Which all gets back to the point that it isn’t really all about science, or enough evidence to back up the Bible, but that it’s all about attacking religious belief and ridiculing those who have it.

That’s what these conversations get down to each and every time. Science in general, and evolution in particular, is the weapon of choice by the atheists with which to bludgeon Christianity and Christians.

Without fail, when they begin to lose the argument on what truth is, they resort to mockery, derision, and ridicule to try to discredit their opponents. They demand more than say so as to why someone should believe the Bible, and yet offer nothing more than say so as to why someone should believe them.

Atheists skepticism about miracles is not proof that they didn’t occur, or disproof of their occurrence.

I do know a Christian surgeon who regularly prays for and with his patients and often has to send them home without operating on them because they were healed. He uses scans and tests for the diagnosis and proof of healing.

Now, you’re not going to take my word for it. You’re not going to take his word for it. You’re not going to take the word of the person who was healed about it. You’re going to accuse them of lying unless they meet your specific demands for proof, none of which is likely to ever satisfy you.

You’re going to demand the actual scans and test results yourself. But then the question arises, that even if someone provided the requested images and documents, do you have the skill and training to correctly interpret them?

If you do, then it could be reasonably concluded that you are in the medical field where you would receive such training. If that was the case, then there would be no need to provide you with the requested evidence as you would have likely already seen examples of it. Virtually every medical professional I’ve ever met can point to miraculous healings of some kind. You’re lack of awareness of them indicates that you are not a medical professional.

If you aren’t a medical professional, then providing you with scans and test results that you are incapable of correctly interpreting, is an exercise in futility.

I could spend the rest of my life googling up testimonies of healings and I have no doubt, you’d find the rest of your life finding reasons for rejecting each and every one of them.

There is a healing/prayer room associated with the Cleveland Clinic where a lot of people go for healing and get healed. You could try there. I will see if I can find out specifically what it’s called and how to contact them but it will take some time to locate the contact person.
