It has beed revealed that a carnival was hanging aroud with female midgets using fire works and were having a great time decieving the dhildren and using fire works and rockets to later to decieve everone.

Yes we need to also acetain if a carnival or circus was in the area on a schedule of ever 6 monthes.Perhaps the woman who was said to be 3 feet tall was a midget in the side show.

The chief visionary of Fatima, in Portugal, was Lucia dos Santos. Robert A. Scott says in Miracle Cures, that in her memoirs she describes herself as gifted from the earliest age with the ability to entertain people of all ages, and to get people to do what she wanted them to do. The other two visionaries of Fatima were her younger cousins, both very attached to Lucia, who regaled them with stories, particularly fairy tales. Lucia's mother considered her to be a special child and repeatedly told her to ask God to make her a saint. The Catholic Church eagerly pounced on this as a miracle that would convince many.

The purported miracle in which a large crowd saw the sun move in circles occurred at Fatima, where people were piously waiting for a sign. It was a form of hallucination resulting from staring at the sun and from group hysteria. Once one person shouted that the sun was moving around, other people, almost in a trance, began to believe the same. Miracle of the Sun - Wikipedia gives other perspectives from the point of view of weather events and group hysteria.

People now understand clearly that the same sun is seen all over the world and, because no one else in the world noticed anything, they realise there was no miracle.

The Eastern Orthodox Church under Communism? I understand why "they" might say that.

Eh, the prophecy referred to a second World War 2 which happened after the conversion.

The Eastern Orthodox Church said they assumed it was a craven attempt by Catholicism to convert Russia. Notably, it was funny because Sister Lucia was still alive and they asked her before her saying, "No, the Eastern Rite is perfectly valid for converting Russia and it referred to atheist communism."

While this is far too old to be responding to I still feel the need to say that's the opposite of science. While you may or may not believe in God, if something happens which is "logically impossible" and it is proven to have happened then that just means the paradigm is wrong. This is something which has happened in science a lot as it's "impossible" the Earth moves around the sun--we see it move. Also, quantum physics.

It passes the test you gave, no good known alternative explanation. Looks like a cheap trick to me, even if I can't tell how it's done. It involves a cracker, I suspect stained with some Italian blood. But who knows?

This, along with Kreeft's favourite: St Januarius's Truly Amazing Congealing Blood@, just isn't near enough to convince me. I'm more impressed with some of David Copperfield's tricks. I can't explain how Copperfield performs his tricks, but I don't think he's a real wizard.
