Stardate 20010726.0354 (On Screen via long range sensors): A few days ago I wrote
about a highly speculative implant which may give some sort of sight to those who have lost theirs due to a genetic disease called retinitis pigmentosa. It turns out that work on deafness has gone much further. There is an implant for people who are profoundly deaf which isn't merely experimental, but is actually ready for clinical practice. FDA approval is expected later this year. We live in an age of miracles.
Quite literally, in fact. If you study the New Testament, there isn't any medical miracle Jesus is claimed to have done which is now impossible to modern medical science. Bringing the dead back to life? Been there. Restoring sight to the blind? Done that. Cure Leprosy? Easy. Not in every case, of course, but all those things have become routine. (Water into wine? Well, we're still working on that one.) (discuss)
