Wax doesn't keep a corpse from decaying.

Atheists are so stupid that they think they can overpower God.
Silly Atheists.

No all are so stupid among you that you deserve the stupidist gift that ever has been given that's grace and some of you will be converted some of you won't that's up to God to decide.
From now on you are the stupidest ones I ever known.

Can you use God to explain the mummies in Egypt?
And are you aware that St. Bernadette is coated in wax? Sounds like a man-assisted miracle....
edit - No, wax does not prevent a body from decomposing. But when you look at pictures of St. Bernadette, you are looking at a partially decomposed mummified body (and yes there are a variety of conditions which makes this naturally possible) whose face and hands are covered in a wax mask. It gives the impression that she is "incorrupt", when she is in-fact a blackened shrivelled mummified corpse.

St Bernadette Body

As a Christian I respect any person that has lived his/her life according to God's will and they are truly our brothers and sisters in Christ. Now the mummifying of bodies is against God's Word. A body must return to dust and not be put up for display. It's even worse when people go and worship the dead. God curses such acts (Jerem 17:5). The same happened in Greece, when they opened a sealed cement tomb of a monk that had died many years before. Everyone was talking of a miracle and people went to worship by the thousands, but within days the body started decomposing. The same will happen with St. Bernadette if you open the glass.

Hmm. What EXACTLY is the point being made here? Is it that just because something is an "unknown" (ie, "mystery") that it somehow trumps everything else or offers proof of something?
It doesn't.
How come some people cannot explain how a Nazi became pope. Or how Nazi collaborators (ie, the pope and cardinals during WWII) betrayed hundreds of thousands of innocents.
Clearly, there are "issues" on both sides of the argument. Enough so that NEITHER side will ever "win" by throwing tid-bits like this into the fray.
It's ALL about FAITH. You either HAVE faith...or you DON'T.
If you HAVE faith, you have no need for "proof".
If you LACK faith, you continue to demand "proof".

Um, St. Bernadette is not incorrupt.
They've had to make a wax mask to put on her face based on old photos, because it was felt that the blackish tinge to the face and the sunken eyes and nose would make an unpleasant impression on the public.

if saint Bernadette's body is incorrupt why have they had to place a wax mask on her face? how do you explain the incorrupt body of the hindu saint paramahansa yogananda or the buddhist saint sokishunbutsu. if incorruptible dead saints are not exclusive to one religion is there an uber god dishing out miracles randomly to different religions?
nobody, the wax mask was made by a company in paris, not god.

How can believers not notice the "incorrupt" nicely preserved body of Lenin, an atheist on public display in Russia?
Every body is subject to the elements, barring chemical preservation. Please stop hiding and show the actual bodies. If there were anything to your claims aside from speculation, it would have been debunked by now.

since when did they have to explain it?
anyway, i don't think any tests were done
(note, I AM catholic-take a look at my profile-i'm just answering your question)
though i would say, many claim there are inconsistencies. I think someone asked a question and showed two pictures, one of the person alive, one of the incorruptible.

What the hell do you mean by incorrupt? How about supplying us with some back story into this question before asking it?
