Default Miracle?

A 14-year-old girl with a history of serious health issues lay dying of pneumonia in a hospital room. But as her mother waited for the girl to take her last breath, an image of bright light appeared on a security monitor. Within an hour, ....

Why should one person live because of a "miracle?" Why just one? How many other people in the hospital died that day?

But maybe I'm just being a pessimist.

Angels do not exist, therefore wasn't an angel, was an unrelated coincidence or lies.

Recovery is a miracle, if I am so to say, not the light that appeared.

Though recovery could still be explained by placebo effect, where the patient saw the light, thought it was an angel and finally believed she could recover.

But meh, who knows now? You can't confirm nor deny that light came out of nowhere. And placebo effect, while heavily researched, is still hard to understand.

If you believe in angels, why not leprechauns (no offense Leprechaun) or unicorns?

*sigh*

Discussing religion or personal beliefs is just silly. Article is heavily biased, but that's because most people in USA believe in angels... they just wanted to side with the religious folk on this one (media is pretty laughable anyway).

However, anything is possible. Can't deny nor prove anything unless you're know everything... after all, this all may be just your dream.

P.S. Oh, and a phrase "indisputably an angel" really made me laugh. The article is a joke, Mike Celizic should at least try to look like a real journalist.

That's a good one, ganna have to quote it haha.

But who knows, it's like we can figure it out. Should just let it go. We'll know what we need to know when the time is right. Already know a good amount through Religion.

Death is a natural part of life. Maybe God just chooses random people to let us know he's real?

....or an angel has nothing to do with this.

Or a leprechaun. One time I was hexed by a troll and one leprechaun cured it right away.

But then again, Jesus is even better, he's like 6 leprechauns. Although much harder to catch... Go with the leprechaun.
