Yes and how many children each year die because their parents chose to believe that some miracle and religious faith were going to cure them? Haven't you read those stories as well? How many recorded miracles have been proven? Not many...

Yes and more people die from such beliefs than actually getting cured.

No, it's not because alot more people actually do get saved by science than they do by religion (and "saved" meaning their physical life as opposed to any spiritual meaning).

My evidence is two old friends of mine who happen to share the same disease. Both of their cases were well documented years ago because both were involved in very important research studies. Information in regards to one of them can still be obtained on the net (and hasn't entered the net dust piles). So, in my case, it is two women that I know, have spoken with, and have also seen the studies that involve them.

If you were dying, wireless, which would you rely more upon? A word of mouth, biblical based, and rare miracle? Or would you choose what science has to offer you?
