"i will pray for you all right now"
"Why ? Statistical testing can not show something that is nonsensical to be either valid or invalid ( prayer in this case ) 1 . Why would god be random in his choices ? If he is random , why bother praying in the first place ? 2 . You could never actually verifiy that someone else somewhere in the world , or universe , was n't praying for your control group , it simply could n't be accurately tested . 3 . What are we testing anyway ? Nothing supernatural can be tested rationally , it 's by definition irrational . * 4 . OK , assume prayer is just `` positive thought `` whatever that means . Now , flip a coin 100 times and pray for heads every time . Statistical difference ? no . How about write a quick random # generator to cycle through 10,000 coin flips and pray for heads every time . Find anything ? * ( If you really think you CAN show an entirely random system can be influence to be non-random through prayer alone , do n't tell me , tell Randy for $ 1 MILLION dollars ! PS . You can not : / ) http : //www.randi.org/ ========================================== unless : 1 . You are doing so for the joy of performing the action . 2 . Other 's actually `` like `` you praying for them , or saying you pray for them , and you like the social `` brownie points `` you get by saying it . ( Thanks thebootfitter for asking for clarification ! ) -Mach"
