It was the prayers, not the science!
There is a very interesting story in the Times today about a teenage girl overcoming rabies with a new and radical technique. But the last paragraph is the killer:
"Her father, John Giese, said he was grateful to the doctors and their novel treatment, but added that prayer had made the crucial difference. "The day after we found out, I called on everyone we knew for prayer," he told The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this week. "We believe a lot of that snowballed and it really made a difference.""
So this poor child gets rabies, no one realizes it (that alone is amazing), she is already too sick for a vaccination, the doctors do some amazing work, and now she is on her way to a recovery - but the prayers saved her! Praise the lord!
This reminds me of the countless stories of women who can't get pregnant, and then use fertility drugs and suddenly find they have multiple fetuses in their wombs. When the doctors then want to remove some to have one or two healty babies and not put them all at risk, the parents refuse because it was gods miracle that put them there in the first place...

Good post, Anthony! And good to see that you are still blogging - have not visited your site in quite a while.
And stories like these now start cropping up in Australia as well..
Best,
