In order to verify that this wasn't a coincidence, I would need to repeat the experiment on multiple babies.
And use multiple crosses.
Make one yourself out of 2 sticks and a bit of rope. To rule out the possibility of the amulet just being magical and having nothing to do with any deity.
Verification is proof and proof denies faith.
That's not how the magic sky man deal works.
I like the Tim Minchin line from Storm.
Science changes its position based on what's observed. Faith is the denial of observed truth so that belief can be preserved.
Okay, that's great Jesus, but I'm still going to need to poke you in the spear hole before I buy this Third Day Resurrection bullshit.
Brand new sentence.
Saint Thomas has lemmy? Fuck.
Poke... With what?

Jesus is fine with giving proof if you need it, he'll just be disappointed you didn't trust him bro.
He should have done a better job then.
If you're shooting because you think there's something to the rumor you heard, then that's verification. So you lose.
If you're shooting for some other reason, wtf? That should itself put you on the bad list.
What if you went back in time and the baby is Hitler?
Then you either allow someone more sane to do worse in the power vacuum, or you get killed by another time traveler trying to prevent that.
We would also need to test this across various age ranges.
