nothing that happens is evidence of the supernatural until you can account for all natural laws and phenomena and can then conclude phenomena X is supernatural.

nothing that happens in our universe is evidence for God. I can imagine 1010000 more likely explanations than God, aliens and wizards are more plausible.
>In 1960, Maurice von Senden restored vision to 65 patients with congenital cataracts.[7] Corneal grafts are also becoming more common. More recently, another condition called aniridia has been treated with reconstructive surgery using the membrane from the amniotic sac that surrounds a fetus combined with stem cell transplantation into the eye.[11] In 2003, three people were successfully implanted with a permanent "retinal prosthesis" by researchers at the University of Southern California. Each patient wore spectacles with miniature video cameras that transmitted signals to a 4-mm-by-5-mm retinal implant via a wireless receiver embedded behind the ear.[12]

there's lots of different ways.

one example would be a pituitary tumor pressing against the optic nerves suddenly shrinking in size for some reason.

a tumor might be pressing against the optic nerve.

[Anonymous No.4440542]

something might be pressing against te optic nerve, like a tumor.

if you remove the tumor, the optic nerve will no longer be repress

[Anonymous No.4440546]

i think there's a condition where a tumor might be pressing against the nerve that transmits information to the occipital lobes of the brain.

and how many are born to replace them? a decrease in population in the 3rd world is exactly what we need.

[Anonymous No.4440573]

Well, I heard about something once. It was involving a tumour exercising a certain pressure on the optic nerve.

[Anonymous No.4440576]

pituitary tumor, optic nerves. shrinkage.

[Anonymous No.4440577]

Probably a tumor pressing against the optic nerve.

Why didn't anyone mention this?

[Anonymous No.4440579]

More are born than die. It actually increases population.
When child mortality is low and people are rich, they only have 2 or less children on average, thus controlling the population.

In fact if those african children survived and were educated their countries would have an exponentially higher chance at economic growth and with growth comes lower birth rates, and population stabilization.

As long as child mortality is high, its hard to educate and employ efficient labor, and what happens is a vicious cycle of poverty that is hard to escape.

high mortality rates = ppl overcompensate and have too many kids

population goes even higher
their productivity goes even lower due to overpopulation
their resources deplete even quicker
their infrastructure gets oversaturated
health and education is harder to facilitate which leads to more unemployment, poverty and death rates

which leads to ppl having more children, and so forth

Have you considered the possibility that the example being presented to you is entirely fictitious?

I'm willing to bet it's not the first work of fiction this individual has presented to you.
