There's so much falshood and trickery done over the centuries surrounding rediculous claims by catholics that it's 'easy' to dismiss their claims.

Can you explain the following miraculous phenomena? Many atheistic scientists have tried, and eventually converted to the Catholic faith.

Shroud of Turin.
Tilma of Juan Diego
Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano
Miraculous Cures in Lourdes

What makes these miraculous phenomena so important is that they are public miracles that can be subjected to scientific investigation. This is of great evangelical importance in our skeptical, scientistic age.

Well to begin with the Shroud of Turin has already been fully debunked, they now know who the guy was wrapped in the Shroud and it's not Jesus.....and Lourdes is no different then Benny Hills “miracles”....as are many of the other supposed Miracles claimed throughout catholicism’s history.

For most Christians the true miracles of the life, death, burial and resurrection, of Jesus Christ is complete and more than sufficient to build a lifetime...many lifetimes over generations of faith.

What He did and continues to be and do, and all he will do in the future precedes and supersedes the counterfeit miracles so often presented, and which give false hope to so many innocent people.

Our faith rests in Jesus Christ. He is the Alpha and the Omega....the King of all Kings....He IS God and very present and active in our life everyday.....the fact any of us are even here is a miracle for none of us is worthy of the life we have.

>>Can you explain the following miraculous phenomena? Many atheistic scientists have tried, and eventually converted to the Catholic faith.<<

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

We were told they would happen Arthur. That they are real shouldn't surprise anyone who knows what scripture says. It's those who don't understand scripture that will fall for them.
