If she’s an atheist, it’s doubtful that she’s interested in being convinced. She has no faith. She’ll likely just cry “fake!” regardless of evidence (do you honestly believe a book will provide ample scientific evidence?). She’s forcing you to play by her rules - those of reason alone. That’s not what gets us to heaven. You should rather pray for her and set an an example of good Christian living. She may be turned off even further if tempers flare and you get in an argument.
)I have one of the latest CD’s and video of the Shroud of Turin. The scientific evidence that supports that it belonged to Christ is amazing…especially in the last 10 years. It also notes the reasons why the Carbon 14 dating from the 80’s has been shown to be flawed. History channel’s “The Shroud of Turin: The Real Face of Jesus” was really good too. Some of the shows on the history channel about the Shroud are not good but that one is worth watching!
she can google for the reports of the medical doctors over the years who have examined the thousands of alleged healings at Lourdes, and determined that fewer than 100 are miraculous, ie. sudden and having to medical explanation.
I am curious how many that claimed to be healed that were not? Then what percentage were really healed over all? Then, how would those stats stack up to other groups that claims healings like pentecostals or even Christian Science?
Catholic Church Miracles are 100% Impossible in any way, by definition. Physical Healings Verified by even atheist Scientists/Drs. My favorite question to the Few Atheists (about 7%) is to explain how he/she Happenned? How did the Univerase Happen? It is Scientists, who know the Most, that soon realize the Master Intelligence behind Everything. Ask any Math Grad how the Laws of Calculus “Just Happenned”? How did the Laws of Gravity ‘just happen’? Etc., Etc.
You are right about the Resurrection. If a person doesn’t believe in that miracle, then none of the other miracles are going to be convincing. The Resurrection is the source miracle from which all miracles since then (Fatima, Lourdes, Turin, Lanciano, etc.) draw their power.
It’s highly misleading that there have been fewer than Lourdes 100 miracles Documented in Writing by medical doctors. Highly misleading because (1) Documnted formally as a miracle to tyhe Catholic Church, (2) Fully medically Examined before/after, (3) A Vast number of Miracles have bnot been Formally Documented: One to me, one to Mother, so determined by 3 doctors before a then uneeded Operation, Miracle to my Nanny, Miracle to a Baptist, Etc., Etc. I know Several People who Know of imopossioble Miracle Cures: one to an Air Force Pilot in-law suffering ferom Very Severe Aneurisms, impossible Full Limitations, miraculously Fully Recovered by Innumerable Prayers. Authentic Impossible Miracle Cures worldwide, only possible by Act of God, are Far too numerous to Document, to the Very severe requirements of the Catholic Church Documentation. I began Inquiry about documentation, felt it not worth the time and effort of Many.
