Recently was told by a Christian to look into eucharistic miracles.

These are when the bread and wine at mass literally turns into flesh and blood.

Apparently these were tested and found to come from a living heart with AB Blood. And all the sources I find list them as verified real.

I can't find any contradicting resources.

So I'm wondering if anyone has one. Cause this just doesn't smell right. The Bible is a self contradicting mess and prayer has already been shown not to work, but somehow God saved his real evidence for randomly trolling priests by turning wine into blood?

I don't know about that one.

I will confess most of the resources I found covering them were Catholic in origin, which are hardly trustworthy (another reason why I'm not buying it)

Anyone here more adept at googling shit who can tell me how this is bogus?

Don't get me wrong. I'd love for God to be real but the paranormal has an atrocious track record.

Edit: Apparently it was a bacterial fungus. Thanks for helping me figure it out.

I'm not sure what I did was amusing. I am asking for help debunking because I can only find catholic resources talking about it.

I'd like to see what skeptics have to say but I can't find anything. Hence why I'm asking for assistance.

Why would I ask another Catholic source if my problem is I can't find a non-catholic source?

Wait is catholic gpt a real thing? Lol it is humanity is fucked.

We are skeptics. We are telling you. It's all bullshit. It doesn't even come from the Catholic church, it comes from folks who make up stories to try and convince others their religion is real.

Apparently it was a mold that false positived as blood

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

It wasn’t a false positive.

The people running the test/making the claim didn’t know that the tests could produce positive results from Bacterial antigens, or detect DNA samples.

If I had a test that tests for Lego bricks, and then I hold up a sack and say “look, This bag is all 2x4 bricks!”, and then point to the test as proof. Well, no. There’s more kinds of legos than just 2x4 bricks.

That doesn’t make the test wrong. It makes the results misunderstood (or intentionally misconstrued.)

If the test is saying mold is a piece of a dude's heart, then the test is definitely wrong

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Lets try it another way.

if I have a test that identifies if something is a NUMBER, that test identifies whether or not something is a NUMBER.

So if I submit [ABCDE} for a test, it would be a negative result- that is not a number. If I submit [12345] for testing that would be a positive result- it is a number.

make sense so far?

Now, someone is taking the result that 12345 is a number, and saying "AHAH, we've found '1337'!".

That is not how those tests work. 12345 is a number, as 1337 is a number, so both would yield positive results. if one were trying to find 1337, and using my test that identifies numbers, my test isn't faulty. They're using the wrong test.

The question you need to ask is, are they using the wrong test just because they're that fucking stupid, or are they using the wrong test because they know the right test will yield a negative result?

either way, the person you are talking to is assuming you're too stupid to understand the difference.

You do understand that there is no difference between 'blood from a heart' and, say, 'blood from a spleen' or even 'blood from an erect penis'. There's a reason it's called the "circulatory" system... It... circulates.
