Hey there. I'm new here so you all don't know me very well, but I'm pretty straight forward and tend to be very skeptical. If I don't see it for myself, I don't believe it. I'm here mainly to participate and learn more about debunking the 9/11 conspiracy kooks.
That said, I've had one occurrence in my life that can't be explained by any science, coincidence, physics, etc.
When I was 15, around 1973, I would go with my sister and her boyfriend's (future husband) family up to Youngstown, OH, (I'm from Pittsburgh) every Sunday to attend Kathryn Kuhlman's services. For those not familiar with her, Kathryn Kuhlman was an evangelist, in the vein of Billy Graham.
I wasn't really into it, but I would go with my sister and the family and take in the sights. Most of the time, Kathryn Kuhlman would just preach, and they'd all sing, and it would be fairly entertaining.
But ever few months or so, she would hold healing services. She was always admant that she wasn't a faith healer, but that it was God who was doing the healing. I would watch the goings on with skepticism, as she would call out healings that were happening, and people would come up to the stage and claim they were healed of various ailments, from bad backs to deafness to cancer. Without anything to personally verify these healings, I certainly took them with a grain of salt, even at my young age.
But then came a Sunday it wasn't some stranger being healed of some hidden malady. My sister's boyfriend has an uncle, and his uncle, at the time had a young daughter about 5 years old. This girl was born with two club feet, and was afflicted with this condition until that day. She left that healing service with two perfectly healthy and two perfectly shaped feet, and I saw them, up close, with my own eyes.
Of course, this is my anecdotal story, and if someone was telling it to me, I would be skeptical myself. But I know what I saw, and because of that, I personally know there are things we don't yet fully understand.
