"And relationships cannot properly be evaluated by scientific methods."
LOL!!!!!!!!!!
(Maybe the PROBLEM was that they used a RANDOM ASSORTMENT or religious denominations, AND THAT'S WHAT ACED OUT THE EXPECTED POSITIVE RESULT! (All those 'false' religions, don't 'cha know! :)
Maybe a BIGGER study could be broken into sub-groups (you know: Sunni & Shiite Muslims, Orthodox & Reformed & Conservative Jews, Babists, Baptists (Southern & other), Roman Catholics and Greek Orthodox, Voodoo adherents, Jahnists, Confuscians, Hindus, Buddhists, Animists, Mithrites, Celtic followers of the Norse Gods or the old Celtic religion, etc., etc., etc. ---- AND *THEN* WE MIGHT GET SOME HARD EVIDENCE ABOUT JUST WHO'S PRAYERS ARE THE *BEST*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COOL!
--- Actually though, I've got my own theory for why the non-positive results... God really likes to keep his secrets and so he DELIBERATELY DOESN'T ANSWER THE PRAYERS OF PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATE IN THESE TYPE OF STUDIES!
It's 'cause he likes to keep an air of mystery going around the whole subject, and keep up the facade of 'Man's free will', and just 'cause he considers participating in these type of 'stunt' studies to be beneath him! |
