Top 1. 0 Reasons To [Not] Be A Christian”Faith- killing questions from the trenches, and answers“There is no scientific evidence whatsoever of any miracles ever actually occurring.” “The Jesus story just is an accumulation of myths of legendary people, all rolled into one über nice guy.” “Science and faith are incompatible ways of thinking. Separate realms that should be kept separate.” “The history of science is the story of one religious superstition after another being eradicated by reason and logic.” “The Bible is a translation of a translation of tales cobbled together by Constantine in 3. AD.” “St. Paul invented Christianity by making a nice rabbi named Jesus into a god.” “Evolution disproves God.” “In their arrogant superiority, Christians think everybody else is going to burn in hell for all eternity.” “The Bible is riddled with contradictions and therefore cannot be the perfect word of God.” “More people have been killed in the name of religion than any other cause in the history of the world.”This story starts with my brother Bryan, a tough- questions seminary student. He got a Masters degree in theology at a very conservative seminary where they work them real good, and he toed the line and he learned all the stuff that he’s supposed to learn, and he moved to China. He’s in China for a couple of years and he basically turned into an agnostic and came within spitting distance of becoming an atheist, which really shook me up. Bryan is a very smart guy, and one of the questions that he asked was this.
He goes, “Okay, Perry, I’ve been to seminary. I know Greek, I know Hebrew, I know Aramaic, and when I read the New Testament I do not see any reason whatsoever from the text why we should not have miracles today. So where are they? There is no scientific evidence whatsoever of any miracles ever actually occurring.”And I’m like, “Uh…let me ask my sales manager and get back to you.” I hate it when people ask ‘elephant in the room’ questions.
Now, if you’ve been in any strand of Christianity for any length of time, you will encounter miracle stories. For example, “We prayed for my sister Debbie and she had cancer, and all of a sudden she didn’t have cancer anymore.”Every now and then, I don’t care where you are in Christianity, you will hear those. I’ve heard a few of them, but I was in very short supply of such stories and I hadn’t thought about it much. I had always been taught that those miracles went away and they either don’t exist anymore, or at least never happen “on command.”And Bryan’s cutting to the chase; he’s like, “Well, I don’t see any reason why they shouldn’t.” And I knew he was right.
So what’s the deal? Let’s start in on this. I went looking and I’ll te. II you that one interesting book that I found along the way was by Richard Casdorph, who is a medical doctor. He wrote a book in the 1.
Real Miracles. This is an older version of the book. It’s called, The Miracles – A Medical Doctor Says Yes to Miracles. What this guy did was there was this lady back in the 1.
Catherine Kuhlman and she would do these healing services. He followed her around and he documented what happened to these people. He documented the “before” and the “after” and he did so with X- rays, medical reports, letters from doctors, all of that kind of stuff. This book is 1. 0 case studies. I’ll tell you what some of the chapter names are: Malignant Brain Tumor. Multiple Sclerosis. Atherosclerotic Heart Disease.
Carcinoma of the Kidney. Mixed Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis. And he goes through, one by one, with X- rays, doctor’s reports and everything and says, “This guy had this before and it’s gone now. Here’s the X- ray, here’s the letter from the doctor, and there it is.” This is not by any means the only such book, but they exist.
Another example of this is God and The Sun at Fatima. Catholics will know what Fatima is (probably most Protestants won’t) but I think back somewhere around 1. World War I, some children were playing and they had a vision of the Virgin Mary. She said that something really amazing is going to happen here at this certain date and they told everybody. Everybody showed up and they all saw it.
This book is by Stanley Jaki, who is a physicist and a Catholic priest and a science historian. He goes into 3. 60 pages of interviewing people and documenting all this.
This is as close as you can get to a scientific investigation of a miracle. Another book that I ran across that I found real interesting that isn’t really about miracles but is about the metaphysical world is called Margins of Reality, by Robert Jahn and Brenda Dunne. They worked at the Princeton University Engineering Anomalies Research Lab. The lab was closed in 2.
Princeton and they would investigate paranormal phenomena. And they proved to five 9’s of statistical confidence (that’s almost six Sigma) that people could deflect falling objects by concentrating. They proved that they could send and receive telepathic messages. Now, most of the scientific community does not know what to do with this stuff. It freaks them out, but it’s there.
This is a fascinating book. So I started investigating this, and I also started looking for personal experiences. A couple of years ago I was in India with my friend, Jeremy. He has spent a lot of time doing healing and practicing Biblical healing. We were at a little church service and Jeremy goes up to the pastor and says, “Tell these people that if they want healing prayer at the end of the service, I’ll pray for them.” So the pastor tells all the people and everyone was like, “Well, okay, I’ll go over there!”Jeremy was like, “Perry, Perry, come over here and help me!” I’d never done this before.
There was a woman whose whole left arm was paralyzed. She had had brain surgery a year and a half before. She had an indentation in her head from the surgery.
She had been having seizures ever since the surgery and she had no feeling in her left arm. She wanted us to pray for her. So Jeremy’s like, “Okay, Perry, start praising God, start praying for this lady!”I’m like, “Okay, me Robin, you Batman, I’ll do whatever you tell me to do,” and we started praying. He would poke her on the hand – “Can you feel that?”“No, can’t feel that.”He’d pray some more and ask, “Can you feel that?”“I’m starting to feel something!” So he would pray some more and at the end of 2.

She was so excited, she didn’t know what to do with herself. A guy came in with a broken wrist, holding it like that; by the end, he was jumping up and down, he was so excited.
There was another lady who had a severe shoulder injury and she couldn’t move her shoulder past about here. I put my arm on her shoulder and I could feel this crunching going on in her shoulder and we prayed for her for about 3. The crunching was all gone and she was moving her shoulder and she was all excited. Then I go home and I’m like, “I wonder if this actually stuck. I wonder if it did.” So I emailed this guy and I asked him, “How are these people doing, anyway?”He said, “In the glorious name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Mr. Perry Marshall, I am so excited to tell you, they are telling everybody they can’t wait for you to come back!”I said, “Wow, this is great!”Now, I’ve got to cover 1.
I don’t have time to go any more. The church that I attend, a Vineyard Church, we practice this.
I of all people know what it’s like to sit here and pray for someone and go, “I feel really stupid! What if this doesn’t work?” You know, sometimes there’s no obvious result, but sometimes there is. You know what? It’s less risky than going to the emergency room. I have a few friends who actually go to the emergency room every Tuesday night and they pray for people, and trippy stuff happens sometimes. If you want to read some more of these stories, go here.
