Can we know anything for sure? We can.

Yes the man in the tree truly thought he would fly to Jerusalem but he didn't. He may have subconsciously thought that he could fly, but the subconscious is a different matter. From birth we are taught, through our experiences, what our reality is supposed to be like. Even though someone may go "insane", those experiences are not altered and therefore the limitations to reality that we have grown to rely upon (no matter the mental state), remain in effect. To give that man as an example, there he was in the tree thinking, "I can Do it, I can do it, I can DO it", he jumps, and then that little subconscious voice comes along that has been fully indoctrinated with the limitations to reality since birth and says "no you can't" and down he goes. Faith in miracles to create miracles can only work while that faith is absolute. As reported by Bruno Klopfer in the Journal of Projective Techniques in 1957, Dr. West was treating Mr. Wright, who had an advanced cancer called lymphosarcoma. All treatments had failed, and time was running out. Mr. Wright’s neck, chest, abdomen, armpits, and groin were filled with tumors the size of oranges, his spleen and liver were enlarged, and his cancer was causing his chest to fill up with two quarts of milky fluid every day, which had to be drained in order for him to breathe. Dr. West didn’t expect him to last a week. But Mr. Wright desperately wanted to live, and he hung his hope on a promising new drug called Krebiozen. He begged his doctor to treat him with the new drug, but the drug was only being offered in clinical trials to people who were believed to have at least three months left to live. Mr. Wright was too sick to qualify. But Mr. Wright didn’t give up. Knowing the drug existed and believing the drug would be his miracle cure, he pestered his doc until Dr. West reluctantly gave in and injected him with Krebiozen on a Friday. To his utter shock, the following Monday, Dr. West found his patient walking around out of bed. Mr. Wright’s “tumor masses had melted like snowballs on a hot stove” and were half their original size. Ten days after the first dose of Krebiozen, Mr. Wright left the hospital, apparently cancer free. Mr. Wright was rockin’ and rollin,’ praising Krebiozen as a miracle drug for two months until the scientific literature began reporting that Krebiozen didn’t seem to be effective. Mr. Wright, who trusted what he read in the literature, fell into a deep depression, and his cancer came back. This time, Dr. West, who genuinely wanted to help save his patient, decided to get sneaky. He told Mr. Wright—that some of the initial supplies of the drug had deteriorated during shipping, making them less effective, but that he scored a new batch of highly concentrated, ultra-pure Krebiozen, which he could give him. (Of course, this was a bold-faced lie.) Dr. West then injected Mr. Wright with nothing but distilled water. And a seemingly miraculous thing happened—again. The tumors melted away, the fluid in his chest disappeared, and Mr. Wright was feeling great again for another two months. Then the American Medical Association blew it by announcing that a nationwide study of Krebiozen proved that the drug was utterly worthless. This time, Mr. Wright lost all faith in his treatment. His cancer came right back, and he died two days later. [1] And about fire walking from what I have read on it it is the witch doctors who do it Witch doctors are people to and if you believe that Witch Doctors can perform magic, then my point that we can change our reality through what we belief (aka: our faith) has been proven for that is exactly what Witch Doctors do. A little history: Firewalking was brought to the United States of America by a man by the name of Tolly Burkan who removed the rituals from this religious ceremony of firewalking, stripping it of most of it’s demonic attire and proclaimed it to the public as a new self help DIY tool to overcome your personal fears by means of walking over a a bed of burning hot coals. The coals normally heated anywhere between 700 to 2000 degrees. [2] Miracles are a reality to those who walk closely with God. These things do not prove the power of thought but the power of the spiritual world The spirit and "thoughts" are very closely related and in fact, you can not have a spirit without thought as a spirit without thought would essentially be nothing at all. Do you really think that any spirit or even god can create a miracle without first thinking of that miracle and deciding to make that miracle come true? God is absolute intelligence and intelligence requires thought. However, if you have any evidence to support a claim that "actions" do not require "thought", then I would really be interested to learn about it. So what about Adolf Hitler wasn't he evil in killing the Jews? From what I define as reality, he was evil for killing the Jews but when we look at the old testament... Deuteronomy 2:34 --> And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain. 1Joshua 6:21 --> And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, with the edge of the sword. Samuel 15:2-3 --> Thus saith the LORD of hosts ... go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel. [3] Now, I am not going to say that Christianity is evil but I am saying that it shows that today's reality in which such things are absolutely evil is not the same reality in which such things were normal. Reality has changed since the Old Testament, humanity has changed, and reality will keep on changing while humanity keeps changing the way that it defines its reality. It appears u are trying to use certainties to prove uncertainties. You are very right about that because where debating is concerned, it is only though quoting facts that evidence can be presented to support a stance. You may also note that I am trying to use the bible as a source of evidence even though my upbringing does not place the same value on the accuracy of the bible as yours does. The truth is, I may be debating in front a larger audience but at the end of the day I am debating you and therefore I am trying to provide evidence that you can accept as evidence. Just out of curiostype may I ask "Would u rather believe nothing is certain than believe Jesus is God and we must obey him since we r his creation?" I could answer that question and get into a debate about religion (which I do not desire), or I can translate your question into what I think you are really asking and answer that one instead. That question would be, "Would u rather believe in uncertainty or certainty?". I rather belief in uncertainty for one simple reason: The universe is a mystery, a puzzle that challenges us look at it, to consider it, and to figure it out. I need that mystery. I need to look upon the world and the universe with awe and wonder and to see the magic that it contains because as long as I see that magic, as long as I can wonder about the miracle that it is, for as long as I derive pleasure and contentment from unraveling the puzzle, for that long I will remain young and my thirst for life will stay with me.
