Thousands are heading to a church in the Australian city of Rockingham to see from close what many call a miracle: a statue of the Virgin Mary is shedding tears...the tears which come from the statue's eyes and are evidently from an oily substance, are gathered in a disk placed under the statue. As usual there are those who see the whole thing with skepticism and insist that there must be a logical explanation.
Something like this should be very easy to prove as fraud, so let them show us the fraud. There have been fraudulent cases of course, but there have been cases where the examiners using high tech equipment could not find a logical explanation for the shedding of liquid... Let's say that out of one hundred cases ninety nine are found to be fraudulent, but in only one it could not, that one should be evidence. My point is, that it is very easy to detect, the scam cannot escape todays science. Italics added.
