Cardinal Newman miracle man Jack Sullivan visits Oratory - An exclusive TNT News interview

Deacon Jack Sullivan from Boston USA, who was cured of a crippling spinal disease after praying to Cardinal Newman, founder of the Oratory Church, visited Ladywood on 11 November 2009. In an exclusive interview with TNT he told how the Vatican earlier this year approved the cure as a miracle and Newman is likely to be made a saint next year.

@SaintForChrist this is the best you can come up with in a year? A couple of straw man arguments? The definition of god is nothing; non-existance, except in the minds of the deluded. Besides, The Bible tells us that we were created in God's image, then it's safe to assume that your god should man-like in appearance.

@SaintForChrist What a cop out? So 'god' is just somewhere to hide our ignorance? I don't pretend to know the prime cause of the universe, though observation (expansion, red-shift, background microwave radiation) seems to suggest that it originated from a single super massive singularity some 15 billion years ago. Before then, we can only speculate, but I'd much rather the speculation is based on scientific knowledge than faith, i.e. belief without proof.

@SaintForChrist last I heard, children have to be 'taught' about 'god' in pretty much the same way that they have to be taught mathematics. The only difference is that for 'god' they have to rely on faith for their belief, while Mathematics can be shown to be demonstrably true. Of course, all the Muslim children are taught something completely different, and Hindu children something different still. Bhuddism teaches yet another version of events. Which are we to believe?

@DaMuttzNutz

Where did God come from? This means you don't know the very definition of God. God is the non-contingent cause of everything that exists. Asking therefore "where did God come from" is a logical fallacy. So tell me if there was nothing prior to the big bang, how did something come from nothing?

@DaMuttzNutz

Yes, Jesus did tell us to obey the scriptures, but at the same time he gave us the church to correctly interpret the scriptures and apply them to our time.

Atheism is not the default state of human beings. An atheist is not simply one without knowledge of something. A-THEIST is someone who rejects the THEIST position. In order to reject something, you first need to know it.

Sure, logical evidence proves God - The argument from contingency.

[DaMuttzNutz]

@SaintForChrist I'll include mathematical and logical evidence under that umbrella

@SaintForChrist Of couse there are unbiased scientists. Those that approach an experiment with no preconceived ideas about it.

[DaMuttzNutz]

@SaintForChrist I make no claims to the universe prior to the big bang, but I'm prepared to admit that there are some theories about it, based on science and not faith.

Where did your god come from?
