The point is that miracles, under the classical definition, do and have happened at Lourdes.
There is no scientific explanation for them and any doctor/nurse/medical professional et al can examine the records.
There is no waiting until all the subjects/witnesses are no longer around to give evidence.
In evidence of the above are the two miracles attributed to my distant relative St.Mary MacKillop.

The undisputed fact that only a tiny number are cured out of the multitude that visit the shrine at Lourdes is absolutely immaterial to the cures that have been recognized as miraculous.
Some of these cures include the regeneration of nerves, which we are told is scientifically impossible.

I would be very interested to see a scholarly refutation of any of the Proclaimed Miracles of Lourdes.

Surely someone can come up with a reference; I've even tried Richard Dawkins but he seems to be strangely quiet on the subject.

individual & anti-green, do you BELIEVE that the behaviour, definition or sociopsychopathy of a radical, extreme, religious cult matches with left wing politics? is it politics or religion?

And try doing some deeper research on the separation of powers & church.

Found this little bit from Richard Dawkins on Lourdes.

Sorry, I do not understand your question.

Can some one tell me why miracles are only associated with the Catholic Church, do they have favour with God that we know nothing about.?
