I know all about Lourdes, and other so-called healing spots. BTW, there are a great deal more than 20. Does that mean there is a god? No. It means that an objective phenomena exists, perhaps within our own minds' ability to heal the body, that is not yet understood.

Many "proofs" throughout the Ages were employed to "prove" the existence of one deity or another. Among them: volcanoes, the sun, comets, lightning, earthquakes, tidal waves, flash floods, visions, etc.

As science and objective, rational thought was able to amass and apply real knowledge these "prrofs" evaporated.

There are many unexplainable phenomena today that I believe could be the basis for new sciences or expansions of present sciences (e.g. physics and chemistry). Among them are magnetic and gravitational anomalies, so-called "ghosts" which may have something to do with time-loops or a "recording" in time, "miraculous" healings, etc.

The existence of these phenomena does not mean that there is a supernatural world, simply that we do not fully understand the phenomena yet and must work harder to quantify it.
