Are miracles science to be discovered?
The concept of whether miracles are "science to be discovered" is a complex one, largely dependent on how you define "miracle" and "science."
 
From a Scientific Perspective:
  • Focus on natural explanations: Science focuses on understanding the natural world through observation, experimentation, and logical reasoning.
  • Emphasis on regularity and testability: The scientific method relies on the ability to obtain reproducible measurements and observations, as well as the ability to test hypotheses through controlled experiments.
  • Challenges in studying miracles: Because miracles are often defined as events that cannot be explained by natural laws or are attributed to supernatural causes, they don't easily fit within the framework of scientific inquiry.
  • Alternative explanations: When faced with seemingly inexplicable events, scientists tend to look for natural explanations, such as coincidences, perceptual errors, or psychological factors.
  • Advancements explain past "miracles": As scientific understanding progresses, events that were once considered miraculous are sometimes attributed to natural processes (e.g., explaining a bleeding statue as caused by a colony of red mites). 
From a Religious/Theological Perspective:
  • Divine intervention: Miracles are often viewed as events manifesting divine intervention in human affairs or as the work of God.
  • Signs and wonders: In some religious traditions, miracles serve as signs of God's power, presence, and love.
  • Transcending scientific laws: While some believe that God generally works within natural laws, they also believe that God can choose to intervene outside or even against them in unique situations.
  • Faith and interpretation: The interpretation of events as miracles often depends on one's worldview and faith. 
Conclusion:
Miracles, as traditionally understood in many religious contexts (i.e., events defying natural laws due to supernatural causes), are generally not considered a subject for scientific discovery in the same way that a new species or a physical law would be. The nature of miracles makes them challenging to study using the scientific method, which focuses on repeatable observations and natural explanations. 
However, this doesn't prevent scientists from investigating events claimed to be miraculous, seeking natural explanations, or verifying claims where possible. Ultimately, whether one believes in miracles is often a matter of faith and worldview rather than a scientific conclusion.

How does the placebo effect fit into the eighth dynamics?

  How does the placebo effect fit into the eighth dynamics? In Scientology, the placebo effect, which demonstrates the mind's power to influence the body, is understood through the lens of the Eight Dynamics, with a particular focus on the role of the individual's spiritual being (thetan), their beliefs, and their ability to effect change.   Here's how it fits: Seventh Dynamic (Spiritual):  The placebo effect, by its very nature, highlights the power of the mind and spirit over the physical body. In Scientology, the Seventh Dynamic is the urge to survive as spiritual beings. The placebo effect demonstrates the individual's inherent capacity to influence their own well-being through belief and expectation. This aligns with the concept of the Seventh Dynamic, where one's spiritual beingness and one's ability to create and cause survival play a significant role. First Dynamic (Self):  The placebo effect is intensely personal. It depends on the individual's beli...

Religion went off the rails with Atheism, Medicine went off the rails with Pharmacology.

 It is easy to see where Religion went off the rails with Atheism, Buddhism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, Muslims, and the long, corrupt Catholic Church, and their hatred has been a hatred of women, housing them in sexless clothes, and close to controlling all children through schooling. 90% plus percent of nuns are allowed to become lesbians. 10% is used to fulfill the father's primal urges for natural sex. This is a natural state of a female's body, such as menstruation. Used as misdirection so the good father could harvest and sexualize children while murdering those that would raise cane or cause the hair to stand up on their real dads' necks. That is enough about the tens of millions of children in the world infected with their religious care. These are the real devils and monsters that Jesus warned us about. Without clarity or advance understanding Mom and dad let the church steel there daughter and convert them into zombies and sex slave for those priest stil...

Justification = creates the evil empires of Humanity. Justification all thing go back to Religion.

A Malaysian court has dropped money-laundering charges against former Prime Minister Najib Razak. Mr. Najib was ousted from office and convicted of corruption in 2020 concerning embezzling a multibillion-dollar sovereign wealth fund. Last year, his prison sentence was reduced to six years, and his fine was lowered to $11 million. Additionally, in November, charges of misappropriating public funds were dismissed.   One wonders why there is such grief, criminality, and deceit within the world. The reason can be summed up in one word: justification. Justification is a concept that can topple kings and dismantle governments. It is revered by a powerful group associated with the justice system. In a sense, it resembles a distorted form of the placebo effect.    Why pray when one can engage in reckless behavior instead? Some take from the weak—particularly children—their future, all so that the privileged few can play now. This leader should have been held accountable for the g...
