There are some things that are false on their face; i.e. crying and/or bleeding statutes, crosses in toilet windows, images of Mary in scrambled eggs, UFO's, Bigfoot, etc. There is no need to be there, one simply uses common sense.

Wait a moment. How exactly do these things prove or even relate to the claims of Fatima?

Why, one might adapt your reasoning to deny that Jesus did a single miracle or rose from the dead. After all, the only "proof" we have of these is the testimony of witnesses and the historical record of fulfilled prophecy -- exactly has Fatima has.

Jesus is the Lord given all by the father. Mary was simply a nice lady, probably made it into heaven, and has no other function in the Divine Scheme beyond being the mother of our Lord. Her adaptation as a Goddess is simply a conversion from paganism of the Great Mother with a thin veneer of Christian words.

They are all claimed miracles. The same claims were made in pagan times; weeping statues, appearances by Gods and Goddesses before thousands.
