My mother is Christian. Protestant Christian. In her church, they see plenty of miracles, things that I can't explain. And I simply can't argue with these events. I know there is some rational explanation. But the things are astonishing, unless we start to doubt the trustworthiness of the testimonies. And this, I do not do. They are sincere - let's take this as a topus of the discussion.

I also bring some examples. These miracles are things like:

1) I am unemployed. 2) I go to church and there they say, at the pulpit, things like: "Today, there's a guy here, who's unemployed. But god said that, tomorrow, you're going to find a job, the job you want". 3) I find the exact job god said I'd find.

Things like these are quite common. They happen almost everyday. And there are more impressive cases, like:

1) I am not usually a church-goer. 2) I go to the doctor and I find that I have cancer. 3) I go to the church and there they reveal to me that god healed my cancer. 4) I take the exams again. I have no cancer.

This second case could be explained by simply coincidence, I know. But it happens way too often to be just coincidence. I know: coincidence happens. But not as much as this.

Well, I am disconsidering the deceit possibility. I know the church people, at least superficially. They seem to be really sincere in their faith. Also there is no money involved - no such thing as an obligation to give a tenth of your income to the church. You give if you want (but god approves it, so you're likely give it).

Any explanation or similar acquaintanceship (and experiences)?
