how do science explains the testimonials of magical healings I see on christian TV?

I don't think 100% of them are completely BS, there must be at least some that can be considered magical I think.

at least the catholic church make heavy studies before claiming is a miracle.

I dunno about protestant scum though.

there are some weird shit like the spain 1920 solar eclipse that was seen only in some town.

Placebo effect
>>
>>7714869
The placebo effect can cause a wide range of physiological changes. Brains are acknowledged to have lot of top-down control over body functions that isn't neatly seperate from the conscious mind. However if a doctor gives you a sham treatment he's liable to get sued so they leave that to other people.

If the results can't be reproduced under scientific conditions for a team of independent researchers, it's most likely bullshit. Also, notice how faith healers can "cure" blindness and paralysis but never regrow people's lost limbs, because that would be much harder to fake
>>
>>7714869
It's placebo effect.

Much like how giving sugar pills to someone with a stomach ache and calling it "medicine" will make them feel better, "faith healing" has a similar effect.

It is entirely psychological.

Intervention by God/universe-programmer/universe-scientist is by definition not natural and not a subject for investigation by natural philosophy. All we can say is that we observe they don't follow the natural order.

That said, Protestant faith healing powers are total bullshit.

I started to use glasses since 22.
I'm 26 now.

would be entirely possible to cure my poor eyesight?

I suppose my eyes are phisically in good shape, I just see stuff blurry.

yeah, that one.

seems like something pretty weird.
>>
>>7715036
Correction: it makes you more sensitive to minor improvements and more likely to see them as unusual.
>>
Normally they are convincing you that they cured a disease you didnt have.

I went to an evangelical church where a young girl with huge glasses stumbles up on the stage. The preacher "heals her eyesight" and she walks off stage fine after a twirly dance.

How on Earth was that girl allowed to suffer for 2 years at that church just so she could be healed on "bring your friends night" ?? No, she had been a fake and a terrible actress.
