Is it safe to say that the only true knowledge of God is if God shows up.
People who claim they have these medical miracles, what happens to their faith in God when medical science does show an explanation?
People use to think God was the reason for lightening.

I do not believe in miracles, personally. But a better question is what happens when medical science cannot explain an event?

God shows up for a lot of people.
Angels show up and that also confirms peoples belief in God.
Besides, no one would even come close to calling any recovery a miracle if medical science had not already confirmed that it was hopeless. A scientific explanation of recovery does not interfere with faith in God: unless the recovery was issued to god as a challenge. Rare.
Your given version of miracle is base. I don't like it.
I prefer the enlightened version that perceives miracles as blessings and therefore inspires graciousness.

LOL! Another one with no question. Just a statement. So you think all us Christians who pray are nutters. Ok. That's fine.
The reason for the Congregation of the Causes of the Saints are for JUST what you state here. To find rational, scientific reasons for what people claim to be miracles. If a justification can be found then it is NO miracle.
For instance if some person claims Pope John Paul II healed them of a tumor, but no one can find a doctor who diagnosed them with a tumor, then no miracle can be claimed.
But Benny Hinn would still claim the miracle! LOL!
There are hundreds upon thousands of CLAIMED miracles at Lourdes. But only 76 confirmed by the Congregation. Proven miracles with no earthly explanation.

When medical science does provide an explanation, it doesn't mean that God wasn't involved. God provided doctors with the skill and knowlege they need to help us; God helped modical science advance; we even find doctors in the Bible. The Apostle Luke was a physician.
Sometimes the miracle comes from God through the hands of a doctor. It shouldn't have any effect on someone's faith whether God Himself cured them or whether God used a doctor to cure them.

LOL I am gonna play devil's advocate for you (no I don't mean the other person who posts on here)
Just because it can be explained does it make it any less of a miracle? We cured the plague, was it not God working through man and the intelligence we were blessed with that preformed this miracle?
Lightning IS God. Everything IS God. God is infinite. God is everything.

Miracles are just something we can't explain yet.
Operative word there being "YET".
Of course, we could just stop looking for reasons, close our eyes, and say it was god....but I'm pretty sure that attitude is not conducive to medical advances =)

Those who want to believe it is a miracle, will still believe regardless of the medical facts. It is just part of their mental hang-up on invisible sky people. And those same people tell their kids that thunder is god's footsteps. LOL

Some of us believe God gives us science and technology.

Medical advances are really just delusions of the Devil to lure you from God. Everyone knows that.
