Or maybe on Friday? Will he be wearing a lab coat or jacket and tie? Will he publish his findings in Answers Research Journal or hold a press conference an a church altar? Who knows?It's all anyone's guess!
Finally! Someone with definitive (or is it divinitive?) proof!
That doesn't seem to be his game:
Of the 15 cases Kruijthoff has looked at so far, 11 have already been explained. The four remaining cases will be further researched. These include someone with terminal cancer who recovered, he said. ‘We are going to talk to these people to find out exactly what they experienced.’
Kruijthoff told the paper he does not suggest there is a direct link between prayer and healing. ‘You will never be able to demonstrate a causal link,’ he said. ‘We can establish that healing took place around the prayer and that the situation is different before and after. But we will never be able to say it happened due to prayer.’
IOW: "Look how sciency I am being! I've actually eliminated most of the cases. And of the cases where we have been unable to identify non-Divine reasons for the miracle cures, well, we still can't say for certain that Jesus cured them." (Nudge, wink.)
