An Atheist Scientist’s Conversion to Catholicism

youtube.com/watch?v=cvMD901sty4&feature=related

An ex-atheist scientist (now Catholic) discovered the One True Faith through rigourous study of Eucharistic miracles, authentic visionaries, and other realms of Catholic spirituality. He outlines these studies here, and it’s very interesting. This video has seven parts.

Eucharistic Miracles

John 6:48-55 (New International Version)
48I am the bread of life. 49Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died. 50But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die. 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
52Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

53Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.

Our Lady of Guadalupe’s Tilma

saints.sqpn.com/our-lady-of-guadalupe/

The image there has been intact for almost five hundred years and resulted in the conversion of nine million Aztecs to Catholicism. People were actually demanding to be baptized because of the significance of this image. It’s on a tilma made of a vegetable matter that should have decayed centuries ago. A bomb was placed near it and went off, but the image and the glass protecting it remained intact. When it was being tested by scientists and skeptics, someone accidentally spilled a 50% nitric acid solution on it, but it didn’t even damage the coloured parts of the image. The stars on Mary’s cloak are in the exact position of the constellation that appeared in the sky the day she appeared to Juan Diego. The moon under her feet and the sun surrounding her are also full of significance:

Revelation 12:1 (New International Version)
1A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.

These look very good, thanks. I saved them and hope to begin looking at them today. Did you also post this to the non-Catholic religions forum?
 
Hello Kera,

I’ve never quite understood the attraction to this kind of video. As I often frequent muslim sites, you can imagine how often I’ve seen analogous videos touting the opinion of some obscure scientist about Islam. William Hays, Maurice Bucaille, and Frank Moore are the usual suspects there. It doesn’t seem to matter so much what they say as the fact that they have scientific credentials.

Typically, the only viewers who find these impressive are adherents lacking a comparable education of their own. Adherents with a comparable education generally find these testimonies embarrassing, as it’s then their duty to dissuade a fellow adherent from using them.

Citing one scientist in opposition to a vastly larger group of scientists who do not share his opinion can only be self-defeating as a witness to atheists, agnostics, and the non-religious. If this one scientist’s credentials are to be admitted for purposes of persuasion, then how can one rationally exclude all of these others? What you’ve accomplished in the end is merely to attract further attention to the fact that most of the more highly educated members of our societies reject your miraculous claims.

As ever, Jesse
