Healing miracles are often cited as evidence for the truth of Christianity. It is often stated that miraculous healings happen around the world all the time in Jesus' name. Yet when you go on to YouTube and search for "Healing Miracle" the number and quality returned doesn't bear this out.
We live in an age where millions of people have pocket video recorders with them at all times. If miracles were happening, you would expect the people involved to be rushing to share these events with the world. You would expect some decent evidence. You might even expect some doctor's testimony.
The top result at the moment is some old video about Ronald Coyne, who could see through his eye socket. I mean if that was true it would defy medicine and would be relatively easy for scientists to test and work out how he was able to do that, if it were supernatural or not.
For me I'd expect to see hundreds of modern videos, possibly outside the church setting (why not in hospitals?)—and not just cessation of pain or leg lengthening—but people who have been blind their whole life, or people who have never walked, or people who have body parts grow back on camera.
I'm not saying healing miracles don't happen, perhaps I'm searching in the wrong places. I'd love to see some decent videos, preferably with some documentation. Or I'd like an explanation why there are so few on YouTube.
