If they understood science, for example, they'd realize that evolution is an established fact. They are like the Catholic Church which suppressed Galileo. <BR/><BR/>Here's another interesting fact. Throughout all of history, science and religion have often clashed and, without exception, science has always been correct and religion proven defective. <BR/><BR/>But this is not the first study I've come across that shows that prayer has no effect. Any well-designed double-blind experiment always shows no effect. Sometimes Christians have been known to design some flawed experiment that shows some effect, but those are truly flawed experiments. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for you comments and attention to my posts.Geohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422024151262255579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749602.post-1144104042224680452006-04-03T15:40:00.000-07:002006-04-03T15:40:00.000-07:00I first read about this article Saturday on this s...I first read about this article Saturday on this site. I've found it interesting that I have seen it discussed on many other sites and have heard many people talking about it in person. The study was done by a Christian based group, so when it comes back saying that there was no effect, shouldn't Christians at least acknowledge it? On many sites that are Christian influenced they argue that the research was flawed for any number of reasons ranging from letgitimate to ridiculus. <BR/><BR/>On one sight I read: ...there is also another point that Jesus taught that prayer should be private and personal (Matthew 6:6)<BR/><BR/>So according to this prayers had no effect because of it's lack of personalization. If that's the case why do people have "God bless America" bumper stickers, or say to random people "You're in my prayers", or even say "bless you" when someone sneezes. Those don't seem very personal to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
