The Vatican is not going to beatify non Catholics.
There should be no other valid explanation for the miracle.
How can they be so sure? I don't know.
But look at it this way. We are all miracles. By the law of nature someone should be here in place of each and every one of us. The set of all humans on earth right now should be a completely different set. That's why we believe in miracles. Try subtracting the whole universe, and what have you got? Nothing! Except that nothing implies something. That we can't explain.
For sure, we are all fucking animals just like any other living form of evolutionary drift that ever happened on earth and we are all accidents of birth. So when a boy recovers in some way from a nasty fall which appears to have damaged his brain then it is still a miracle. The fact that the Catholic Church want to claim it then good luck to them.
