if so, would it likely be an act of divine retribution?

What some people call "spontaneous human combustion" I call "falling asleep with a lit cigarette". None of this makes any experience. first of all, we are actually not very flammable. Our clothing may well be yet we are sixty 5% water by way of mass that is no longer precisely rocket gasoline. 2d, the place is your ignition source? with the intention to realize ignition you're able to desire to get the temperature as much as numerous hundred stages. In different words, approximately 15 circumstances universal physique temperature. 0.33, the place is this elusive information? the place are the stunning documented situations of SHC? no longer conspiracy theorist web content the place are the printed articles in scientific journals? And ultimately, in case you will postulate a supernatural reason, then you definately've abandoned rational communicate. What you assert is that, in finished contradiction to the regulations of physics and chemistry, that somebody burst into flames MAGICALLY. it is the component I could save ramming residing house on the subject of the supernatural. in spite of if it truly does exist, that is ineffective. It won't be ready to be shown empirically it won't be ready to be shown in any respect. by way of that is totally nature it defies analyze, meaning you won't be able to comprehend something approximately it. you're perpetually condemned to ineffective hypothesis it would not advance your comprehend-how in any respect. in spite of if the supernatural does exist, there is not any component even acknowledging it, because you are able to by no skill comprehend if that is truly there or no longer.

It's been proven to be the result of clothes burning through body fat at incredibly high temperatures without radiating heat throughout the whole area - like the flame of a candle. The victims die from some other cause first, fall into a fire, and then their clothes gently burn like a wick through their flesh until there's nothing left but ash.
Sorry to be rational.

I saw a documentary on it once, very interesting. I do not believe it is an act as you say. More like it simply happens as other traumatic events to people.

It's like this. An egghead scientist named Reed Richards convinces your older sister and his ol' war buddy to go with him in his spaceship. You tag along and get zapped by cosmic rays which cause you to burst into flame whenever you yell, "Flame on!" The upside is you get to wear a cool costume with a "4" on it.
Nah . . . blame it on the cosmic rays.

I really haven't given it much thought, but unless i actually witnessed it, i don't believe in it.
But yes, if i actually saw it happen, i would think that it is the work of God.

Only in a literary sense. I've caught fire a few times over issues.
