I don't think you know what evidence is because neither of these two examples count as evidence, more like a Catholic Church being desperate, these examples can be easily explained by a simple combination of mathematical odds, the brilliant work of the medical professionals and potential of the human body to recover from horrific injuries, diseases, etc, in rare cases. For odds, how many people at any one time are praying to specific "saints"? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Millions? At some point, one of them is bound to "pray" at the same time as having a family member recover, that is called pure mathematical coincidence, the odds are there to allow the possibility of one hit happening. Now imagine how many people have prayed to Carlo and their family members or friends have still died or not recovered? Hundreds? Thousands? A 1000 to 1 chance is still a 1 chance of happening, it is not proof of a God, but simple maths. For the woman, she suffered a bleeding on the brain after crashing during a cycling accident, the surgeons operated on her, 6 days after surgery her mother prayed to Carlo, but no she did not "suddenly recover" she apparently woke up on that day, the 6th day after surgery, the next day she recovered use of her upper limbs and partial speech recovery, a further 10 days later she was discharged from the ICU (so again, not a sudden recovery) and it does not say where she then went (discharge from the ICU does not mean discharge from hospital). 16 days post surgery showed that the surgery was a success and the bleed on her brain had resolved itself. After that she spent a week in physical therapy also. So combine all of that and we have.
This woman had a low chance of survival but low does not mean impossible, she was the *1* when we say "1 in 1000" As for the pancreatic case, the mother claimed she had been prayed for her son for years, so what, God ignored her for all those years until she prayed to some random dead kid? Because in both of these cases, this kid never met either of these people, they simply prayed to him, so the dude is even more hacked than Jesus Christ himself who had people trekking miles to have him heal them, Lol. And also the kid was killed at 15 by God via Acute promyelocytic leukaemia, I suppose we should thank God for striking the kid down with a horrific disease all so he can apparently cure two people out of billions. It started with an inflammation of his throat, he was diagnosed with parotitis, his condition worsened, he had blood in his urine, he later was too weak to leave bed, he was then diagnosed with leukaemia, he was put on a ventilator, finally falling into a coma, undergoing blood cleansing treatment after a haemorrhage and then he passed away, thanks God! He seemed like a nice kid and it's sad he went out so awfully, I'm happy religion helped him find comfort in his final moments, but the Catholic Church is using him as a tool for PR, I mean shit he has even been dubbed "the first gamer saint" it's an attempt to appeal to a younger audience by the Catholic Church. What saved the woman above was the amazing doctors and her body, not God. |
The Catholic Church has access to the medical records of these incidents, they would know more about it and me and you. We don't have access to the same level of information.
The Catholic Church doesn't declare miracles unless they are deemed impossible, not improbable, big difference. Improbable means something that is unlikely to happen, but can still happen (such as winning the lottery, or meeting Keanu Reeves at your local coffee shop, these things are unlikely to happen, but not impossible to happen since they don't contradict the laws of nature). Impossible means something that could never happen (such as jumping all the way to the moon, or swimming across the Atlantic Ocean within 20 minutes, these things would be impossible to anybody to accomplish since the laws of physics wont allow people to do these.)
Carlo Acutis would be proud of how the Church declared him a saint.
