What statues :p ?

When people say "Scientists can't explain" I'm always sceptical, because in a religious context they nearly always have explained phenomena like that or the phenomena is actually outright myth, only the religious crouds refuse to accept the explanation and claim it as unexplained ;) Even then Science can't explain everything because enough research hasn't been put into everything, hence science not explaining something even then doesn't guarantee it as being a religious miracle!

something to do with air pressure expanding and decreasing etc.
i didnt read much about it tho.
But most materials have water in it (i think) so that would be the natrual rock comming out..

tho why those statues and no other however even if made from same material, i dont think theyve answered :D

But is that really true or just a myth? Is there any evidence? Is it really blood?

Even the Church seems to disagree with some of them at least:

Apparently you can buy weeping Mary statues from the Philippines too, just insert a liquid and away she cries!

I dont know if its true or not, just seen a documentary about stigmata's and all that shit and i'm just a little curious on how ppl feel about them ;)

and iirc from what i've seen, its usually the church that sends out the scientists to see if it was real or not. And in some cases the scientists cant find anything that would point out the statue was being tampered with. Its a mistery! ;)

Problem is it's in the Church's interest to send out scientists with religious bias.
