When Faith Met Science in the NICU
The infant was born at twenty-three weeks, weighing just over a pound. The neonatology team gave him a ten percent chance of survival. His family held prayer vigils in the hospital chapel every night. Against every prediction, he not only survived but thrived — and the NICU staff had to grapple with what they witnessed.

Reading extraordinary claims without losing empathy
People often share unusual experiences because the event affected their identity, relationships, or fear of death. A purely argumentative response can miss that human purpose. Empathy means hearing the account accurately; it does not require accepting every proposed cause.
One useful practice is to summarize the experience in neutral language before evaluating it. Separate what was seen or remembered from what the narrator believes it means, then identify which parts could be checked against independent records.
Five checkpoints for this route
- 1.Are changed names, composite details, and confidentiality limits disclosed?
- 2.Was the account recorded close to the event or reconstructed much later?
- 3.Could a reader reproduce the article’s source trail without guessing?
- 4.Does the conclusion match what was measured rather than what was merely possible?
- 5.Would the wording still be accurate if the preferred explanation were wrong?
