	It seems to me that, as a general rule, the person who knows best that a miracle happened is the person who is the subject of the miracle. Everyone else has to take that person's word about what really happened.		It seems to me that, as a general rule, the person who knows best that a miracle happened is the person who is the subject of the miracle. Everyone else has to take that person's word about what really happened.

	There is nothing stronger than the word of the recipient of the miracle. Photography won't do--we know how easy it is to fake photographs! Nor will the opinions of medical experts; their judgment is not infallible, and doctors disagree with doctors all the time.		There is nothing stronger than the word of the recipient of the miracle.

	There is no miracle that can change the mind of a committed atheist. Regardless of the evidence presented, the atheist must say, "Because there is no God and no supernatural order, what happened is either a magic trick, a hallucination, or a natural event whose causes we have not yet defined scientifically. Strange things do happen. Sometimes diseases disappear and bodies heal themselves in a rapid fashion, but we do not need to invoke anything more wonderful than nature to explain those effects."

	* Remains of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philomena St. Philomena] found. On Jan. 13, 1837, Pope Gregory XVI named St. Philomena Patroness of the Living Rosary, and declared her to be the "Thaumaturga," the "Great Wonder-Worker of the nineteenth century." In a solemn decree, he raised her to the altar of the Church, granting her a special feast day (August 11) and a Mass in her honor. Buried circa 150-100 AD.
