And don't try to tell me that is not exactly what
science is doing.
Shall I list the amount of money being spent on this?
But it is 100% reliable if you follow the procedure.
Prayer, works as often as flipping a coin....
"Complications of surgery occurred in 52 percent of those who received prayer (Group 1), 51 percent of those who did not receive it (Group 2), and 59 percent of patients who knew they would receive prayers (Group 3). There were no statistically significant differences in major complications or thirty-day mortality. In The God Delusion, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins wrote, "It seems more probable that those patients who knew they were being prayed for suffered additional stress in consequence: performance anxiety', as the experimenters put it."

Why should it?The issue is not God vs science. Its science can't be used to investigate God
Why should it?
Its man's efforts. And natural man is nstural man and can't be made spiritual through man's efforts
I covered that. 100% if you follow my procedure.
You can't take others experiments on this one.
Just like you don't believe my claims.
If you did, that would not be scientific.
That would be faith in me.
I see you didn't read it yet.Ok, lets suppose you're right,....and 2 of us follow that method you mention, you pray for rain all day tomorrow and I pray for it not to rain,....
The sun came out, the rain stopped
and a farmers field had been laid
flat and the ground was dry.
I disagree, the scientific method can only be used to investigate the natural world.
Ok, lets suppose you're right,....and 2 of us follow that method you mention, you pray for rain all day tomorrow and I pray for it not to rain,
I disagree with that as well.
Oh, you don't get to control the outcome or the request.
We can't give you the power of a God.
Yes, that is a shame people don't get that power.
You'd want that?
That has already been dealt with, you can't setup an experiment, where the results are replicable, your own testimony can't be peered reviewed,...that's not science,....that's wishful thinking...
Oh, you don't get to control the outcome or the request.
We can't give you the power of a God.
Yes, that is a shame people don't get that power.
You'd want that?
So really, what's the point of praying then?......
None of that is correct.
Do you want people to have control of God?
Would that be best for you?
It's in the link.
The point is to change your request to what God has planned for you.
And to change it, then answer it, so that you discover it was not you.
The whole point of prayer is to discover that God is there.
Power over the world is a strictly human idea.
As you've mentioned, that is a failure in experiments.
No, your procedure is just a method of accepting your lot in life. Nothing has changed, you're just assuming that, whatever happens, it's for the best.I covered that. 100% if you follow my procedure.
You can't take others experiments on this one.
Just like you don't believe my claims.
If you did, that would not be scientific.
That would be faith in me.
I'm not asking you to have faith in me.
Got Answered Prayer?
Belief...in what?No, your procedure is just a method of accepting your lot in life. Nothing has changed, you're just assuming that, whatever happens, it's for the best.
Here's a fabulous example of praying for something that would be beneficial to the individual 100% of the time (if the deity you believe in exists and demands belief for a positive afterlife): Praying for belief. I have prayed for belief since I was 13. That makes for almost 9 years of praying a minimum of once a week for belief, and no result. So, is the best thing for me going to hell?
