God's Latest Miracle Helps You Pass Gas!?

In this episode, a recent article was published in a medical journal that claims to have had an divine intervention from the Holy Spirit that helped this man who suffered from gastroparesis for 16 years finally pass gas!  Many Christians such as Lee Strobel, the author of "the case for Christ" posted this article on twitter saying:  "Breaking: Peer-reviewed medical journal publishes documented case of spontaneous healing after prayer in name of Jesus – young man healed of gastroparesis after not being able to eat without feeding tube for 16 years." Although this article does state that the boy 22 did experience what he claims was the holy spirit, the article does not claim that it was because of the prayer that caused him to be healed from his issue.  Read this article for yourself, some of the things to note are mostly bias interpretations and not based on any actual science. Although there is some that can be correlated or suggests reasonable contributions.  There is no evidence or tests conducted to confirm if prayer was repetitive (if it worked on the patient in the next room as well) or if it was a neuro networking of the brain that caused a change in his condition.
