hahaha health you may have missed my point. my point was, who cares if you believe it? hopefully the person who it was supposed to affect believes it, and hopefully it affected them the point i was trying to make was this:
we may never know what really happened in that morgue. but that doctor, who was a sane, rational, and very smart human being really honestly truly truly believed that a dead man came back to life to give him a message from his zeide, and you know what he did with that experience? he went up to the break room and had a laugh. even if it was his neshama talking, a message from hashem it was either way. turns out it wasnt wasted because 10 yrs later it eventually helped nurture a decision to go to arachim, but the bottom line is he did nothing after a man came back from the dead to speak to him (again; thats what he believed)
whether or not a fish spoke is a non-issue. the result, however, is not. we do not have to believe a fish spoke or did not speak, because it will affect us very little whether we view it skeptically or not. are you going to move to yerushalayim and never speak divrei bitul again for the rest of your life if you allow yourself to believe it might have happened? BUT! what about the person who claims it happened to them? did they change as a result?
the rest is just inconsequential.
