Yup a heart attack
The blockage in his cardiac artery cleared itself. This happens quite a bit. Again, nothing supernatural about this.
Yup, just like my dad a year ago. Though he was kept in for a couple of days to wait for tests. But within two hours was wanting to get going before any treatment.

Ok an athiests turn then
Now I know that some of you might not blame God for rapes/killings etc, or are less vocal about such things.
I'll speak as an athiest then. The "some of us" that blame God are not the atheists. That "some" are those who say God is all powerful and in control of everything.
See Schraf's Message 92 where she quotes Hawndawg as saying God is in control of everything. If that is so then this God is not only all powerful but all responsible too. An atheist isn't going to blame God for anything. We're pretty convinced he isn't responsible for anything at all.
You're the one who knows God. You tell us what he can and can't do and is and is not responsible for. Just don't blame us if you get tied in logical or ethical knots when you do.

D o o m e d !
I guess I am doomed then. I've been told that often enough so it must be true. I've never been whatever it was you said.

Something to agree with !!
I guess I'm saying that when science is used as a tool to find physical truth it is objective. When scientists believe science is the ONLY tool to find ALL truth, their theories are inevitably influenced by this subjective view.
This I agree with. It is an excellent statment of what science is about and that it is limited.
However, here we are discussing what science can learn abut the natural world. That is an area which it had proven to be very successful in.
What method can be used to find the other TRUTHS? Those that science can not (and doesn't claim to) deal with. I don't see a lot of real good progress made with any other methods over the centuries. Can you point some out?
