Step 2 · Editorial composite · Faith And Medicine
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.

A careful way to compare competing explanations
Begin by listing explanations without ranking them by preference. Ask what each explanation predicts, which observations it accounts for, and what evidence would count against it. This reduces the temptation to treat mystery as confirmation.
A good comparison also allows multiple factors to operate together. Physiology, medication, expectation, memory reconstruction, culture, and spiritual meaning do not always form mutually exclusive categories.
Five checkpoints for this route
