God's Latest Miracle Helps You Pass Gas!?

The Adam Paradox

In this episode, a recent article was published in a medical journal that claims to have had an divine intervention from the Holy Spirit that helped this man who suffered from gastroparesis for 16 years finally pass gas! Many Christians such as Lee Strobel, the author of "the case for Christ" posted this article on twitter saying:

"Breaking: Peer-reviewed medical journal publishes documented case of spontaneous healing after prayer in name of Jesus – young man healed of gastroparesis after not being able to eat without feeding tube for 16 years."

Although this article does state that the boy 22 did experience what he claims was the holy spirit, the article does not claim that it was because of the prayer that caused him to be healed from his issue. Read this article for yourself, some of the things to note are mostly bias interpretations and not based on any actual science. Although there is some that can be correlated or suggests reasonable contributions. There is no evidence or tests conducted to confirm if prayer was repetitive (if it worked on the patient in the next room as well) or if it was a neuro networking of the brain that caused a change in his condition. Some things to consider before going off the title alone.

Gastroparesis is a condition in which your stomach cannot empty itself of food in a normal fashion. It can be caused by damage to the vagus nerve, which regulates the digestive system. A damaged vagus nerve prevents the muscles in the stomach and intestine from functioning, preventing food from moving through the digestive system properly. Often, the cause of gastroparesis is unknown.

However, the causes of gastroparesis can include:

• Uncontrolled diabetes
• Gastric surgery with injury to the vagus nerve
• Medications such as narcotics and some antidepressants
• Parkinson's disease
• Multiple sclerosis
• Rare conditions such as: amyloidosis (deposits of protein fibers in tissues and organs) and scleroderma (a connective tissue disorder that affects the skin, blood vessels, skeletal muscles, and internal organs)
