The closest connection mold has to miracles is when Fleming discovered that certain mold killed a lot of bacteria. But that's just science.

How advanced would science be now if the racists hadn't discounted the knowledge of ancient brown people?

Steam machine

Hero of Alexandria first century CE. Rediscovered in 1707 by Denis Papin.

Archimedes too numerous to count. Rediscovered between 18th and 20th century

The antikythera machine, second or first century BCE, 20th century

Indoor toilets 16th century BCE Crete, 19th century...

Without the Chinese, Persians and Arabs, we will probably be way less developed than we are now.

The bottom of my shower stall was so consecrated. Scrubbing Bubbles took care of that.

But wait. Look. It's back! A miracle indeed! Even science cannot stop its return.

Well. we'll just see what Mr. Clean has to say about this!

Well, it was mold.....this time. But one of these days it will be the real flesh and blood of Jesus. Then we can send it for DNA analysis and prove that Jesus was a six foot tall, light skinned, European.

As my (deeply Catholic) Mother would point out -- "I seriously doubt if God wanted to show us a miracle that it would take place in Indiana. Or Utah."

She was always highly amused by the Georgia "appearance" of the Blessed Mother, on toast, & the rest of the lot.

She also would be irked by basketball players blessing themselves with the sign of the cross before shooting a foul shot. "The Good Lord doesn't care if you win a basketball game."

Unfortunately, the Internet has allowed the gullible to share their craziness across the globe. And we in America are paying the price for it.

It’s important to thank gawd immediately after an athletic skirmish so your Catholic mommy will know you still believe her lies.

Well, the wafers they use are pretty thin to begin with, get them slightly damp and they will resemble skin. A red spot looking like blood? I can think of a couple of different things that can look like blood.

Unfortunately, even with the actual evidence that it is just a wet, moldy cracker, this anonymous woman will still probably think it was a miracle. When your critical thinking skills are blunted by indoctrination, you can believe anything.

"Let’s suppose, however, that all of this was real.

That the wafer really did reveal the body of Christ."
