for the morons who don't believe in God explain this?

Question

5 year ago i got a parasite on the brain blocking flow of fluids causing pressue and swelling of the brain.after 1 week on life support dr. say nothing we can do lets pull plug my parents say no.family starts a prayer chain where there is some1 praying for me 24/7 the next morning I'm improving that night they ready to pull me off life support a few days later i am able to get up and walk around unassited,within a week of dr. saying they can't help me they send me home from the hospital.I went back to that hospital 1 year later. I was waiting on an elevator a doc got off the elevator his jaw dam near hits the floor,looks at me astonished.He shook my hand and told me "I never thought you was gonna make it."I said thank the good lord he said YEA !

someone say the advancement of science did you miss the part where the doc said I can not help even with his science.

i see a lot about people talking about my attitude i guesse i should have used people instead of moron.and to the one about the tumor my grandma had a tumor she was scheduled for surgery and 1 day all of a sudden the tumor was gone.but i guesse that goes along with some off the other answers and it just healed itself huh?

Answer 1

Wether you belive in god or not you should know that your body is not helpless to disseases and such maybe the parisite died or something all i know is that you my friend are an idiot im not religius but think of that saying wat would jesus do i dont think he would be pathetic like you

answer me this:if adam and eve had children the only way to expand the population when adam and eve died would be inbreeding thats pretty sick

Answer 2

A parasite? A living thing. What do living things do? They die. They decompose.

As you should know, "to dust ye shall return".

Moreover, the brain is the most complex organ in our body. It can rewire itself to adjust to the bodys changing conditions: if someone loses an arm, the area of the brain formerly controlling the arm can rewire itself to further assist in vision, hearing, balance, or whatever is used more at that point.

It could be as simple as the parasite being attacked and destroyed by your lymphocytes, or that the parasite wiggled to a bigger blood vessel and simply went "with the flow" out of the brain.

I think its ironic. God was created thousands of years ago to explain things people couldnt figure out, like earthquakes and storms... here we are, thousands of years later, and youre acting just like those primitive humans did wayyy back then.

I take it you didnt get much science in school.

Answer 3

Well i really wouldnt worry about most of the people in here. God can help save an athiest just as well as a christian. what a loving God is that! The fact that God does not intervene in all cases does not mean he does not in some. when science fails what else is there? chance? well chance is partyl science if you want to think about it. i think that miricles happen everyday. when the drug addict checks into rehab, when a mother and father raise a child, or when only one does, when a teen says no to drugs and other temptations, when one has the gall to stand up for what is right, when people sacrifice their lives for another who they dont know. how does this coincide with science? science would tell us the opposite or could not explain why we do the things we do or why certain things happen. think about this

Answer 4

Where did the parasite come from in the first place? With that said, there is no doubt that positive thinking can positively impact one's life. Doctors deal with actuarial statistics. They always err on the side of telling the family to prepare for the worst. If the patient survives, great. What would happen if they told family members things would be fine and they weren't? Nevertheless, your recovery doesn't mean God did anything.

Answer 5

It is great that you recovered, but that doesn't prove there is a God. I respect your beliefs and don't appreciate being called a moron, I would not refer to you as one for having beliefs different then mine.
That being said, when thing are looking bad they try to help the family ease into it. The body is amazing and can do amazing things even an atheist without anyone praying can walk away from something the doctors thought would be fatal. A person who thinks positively, as in that they will get better with or without God, is more likely to recover then someone who doesn't.

Answer 6

Medical science is far, far from explaining how a lot of these conditions occur, and what can cause them to clear up. Just because we aren't currently able to understand it doesn't mean there is no explanation, and it does not qualify as proof of God, nor does it mean that praying is what caused it to clear up. I don't know if God exists or not, and honestly, neither do you. You're just narrow-minded enough to see what happened as proof. And if that is the case, I'd like to know what you say to people whose prayers are not answered. How many people do you think die of cancer every day, in spite of any amount of praying they do? I'm glad it did clear up for you. But don't call people morons and follow it by saying something so stupid. It makes you look...well, like a moron.

Answer 7

Okay so this is some sort of proof, hmm okay so what. Can we see your medical chart and perhaps do some test. Since you recovered the doctor probably didnt bother to test you.

The guy above me pretty much made the argument I was going to say.

However, you do know that christians are not the majority in the world anymore, which means you just called the majority of the world morons for no reason.

Answer 8

Very good argument ProudStud. Of course you realise that logical arguments are invalidated in questions of faith. Anecdotal evidence does not truly support an argument either. Set up an experiment with proper protocols and then try to prove(or disprove) the existence of G-d. The people of faith would say, you cannot apply such things to the will of G-d. The people of science would say that this is a cop-out. In the end, it comes down to apples and oranjes. You cannot use a faith based argument to knock down logic, but at the same time you cannot use logic to support a faith based arguemnt.

I find the wording of the question offensive, as if this person looks down on those who chose not to belive in his G-d. How egocentric, to believe that one's own belief is the only one. At the same time, those who do not believe in a god look down on those who put their faith in such things.

Answer 9

[Holy Cow] has the best answer right there.

I was watching The childerens hospital show and these parents was told that their twins would not make it. They did the same thing your family did. They even got the whole neighborhood into doing it. Well the twins died sadly. Then their family said,"Thank the good lord."

True story, i just added the family saying thank the good lord.

Answer 10

God save the Queen

Answer 11

That would be because of the advancements in medicine made possible by science.

Why don't you tell us about the millions of people who suffer from a terminal illness such as cancer, pray about it for months (years in some cases), and die because of it? A one percent success rate doesn't equal a god.
