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 didn’t see you link any of your sources, but I’ll bite:

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11882681/

    https://www.forensicscijournal.com/index.php/jfsr/article/view/jfsr-aid1068

    Also:

    For example, in 2006, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dallas gave over a Eucharist host that turned red while in a glass for the analysis by two University of Dallas biology professors who concluded it was naturally explicable, as Bishop Charles Victor Grahmann wrote that "… the object is a combination of fungal mycelia and bacterial colonies that have been incubated within the aquatic environment of the glass during the four-week period in which it was stored in the open air.

    I got that off the first page of a DDG search (no AI) for: eucharistic miracles study nih

    Please do not reply. Or at least try to sound like less of a troll in any reply to me than in the rest of your posts in this thread.

      Thank you. I don’t know why I was mistaken for a troll.

      This is indeed what I asked for and it works just fine as a debunk.

            Provide it. Last time all you could find was a letter saying “yup it’s totally human tissue”, and you ignored the articles I pulled about how poorly that particular “research” was performed.

            Have you heard of a little process called “peer review”? It’s an important part of science because it prevents one or two jackasses from just making shit up.
