My point was the hypocrisy in demanding extraordinary evidence only for some extraordinary claims but not others. Regarding the cause of Bernadette's cure, you're begging the question (you know Bernadette's cure has natural causes because events always have natural causes). We are dealing with Bernadette's specific case, not some general case where the cure is unknown, so you can't just pass this case off as ordinary for it apparently is not ordinary for her impairments to be reversed. Finally, you are incorrect in assuming that God has not shown up in my life. Don't assume other people's "real-world investigations" go the same as yours.
