Do you believe in magic? Or in this case miracles.

It was April 1st, 2003, Tina was in her living room that afternoon folding laundry as she saw her two-year-old Kandisse, walk up to a locked door that lead from their pool area to the living room that Tina was in. In A Life Saved Tina states, “I told her to walk around to the back door. I thought she had come in and was watching tv with the other kids”. It wasn’t until later when Tina asked where Kandisse was that they couldn’t find her. Moments after, Tina glanced over at the pool and saw her two-year-old sitting at the bottom. Tina ran and jumped into the pool screaming at her son to call 9-1-1. Smith reported, “No one is really certain how long Kandisse was in the …show more content…

But that is not always the case. A specific doctor by the name of Jacalyn Duffin wrote about when she traveled to Rome to study and examine over 1400 different cases in the article, Miracles and Wonders: Finding Canadian Medical History in the Vatican Archives. All of those cases having to do with miraculous unexplained cures and recoveries. Often people don’t realize that Duffin referred to herself as an “atheist doctor” (page 41).

After my one-on-one discussions with all the service crew workers, it became apparent that Tina Williams was dissatisfied with the way the service crew workers were working as well as the fact that Christian Segers and Alyssa Wolfe switched alleys mid-shift (a switch that they claimed was approved by Ana Velez). They also said that Tina Williams was cursing at them while complaining about the way they were working. Tina Williams denies swearing at anyone and says she was just concerned about the alley. In order to avoid a prolonged disruption to production for the rest of the shift, it was agreed that Alyssa Wolfe

  • Comparing Einstein's Letter To Phyllis Wright

    253 Words  | 2 Pages

    In his letter answering sixth-grade student Phyllis Wright’s question of whether scientists pray, Albert Einstein employs purposeful logos and diction to successfully distinguish the religiosity of true scientists from that others. Einstein logically builds his distinction by asserting that “a research scientist will hardly believe ... [in] prayer” and subsequently revealing that experienced scientists nevertheless develop a religious devotion towards “a spirit vastly superior to that of man.” This explicit presentation of the similarities and differences makes it clear how the scientists’ concepts of piety differ from conventional beliefs. Henceforth, Wright would conceptualize Einstein’s beliefs as a variation from the beliefs she is familiar

    First, the example of Mary giving birth to Jesus as a virgin is an impossible event because there was no such technology back in the day that allowed this. Next, the example of Jesus walking on water is impossible due to the fact that law of gravity still comes into play. Seller states, “The whole Christian worldview entails the subordination of reality, identity, and causality to the whims of an alleged God for whom there is no evidence and who is therefore to be accepted on faith.” From stating this, he means that even though there is no evidence to prove that any of these events actually happened, the fact that these miracles are a part of what connects Christianity to the Scientific Revolution and it just needs to be
