Post Gold Dust and teeth miracles

Many of you may have heard of this wackiness, but in chat last night a few were unaware. This is way out there even for the fringe of Fundiedom, the Charismatic Movement(especially the "Toronto" faction). I say, the nuttier the funnier...I laugh everytime I hear about it. The mainstream Christians are pretty much ripping this all to shreds now...but gawd are people gullible

Here is a suprisingly objective article given its from an Apologetics site <a href="http://www.gospelcom.net/apologeticsindex/d04.html" target="_blank">info and crisitcism</a>

Oh boy, is that funny!! My favorite parts were the quotes like this one:
Quote:
Here at the Family Christian Center, Pastor Rich Oliver draws back his lip and displays a glittering gold crown he says God gave him in March. Actually, dental records show his previous dentist put the crown in on April 29, 1991. When confronted with those records, Oliver says: "I'd have to say I was absolutely wrong . . . [but] none of it distracts from the fact that I know God is a healer."(italics mine)

The $64 question is, if God can and does change a base metal filling into gold, why can't or won't he change it into tooth?

. . . or from the fact that I never saw the money roll in like it did after my little mistake.
