Prayer 'no aid to heart patients'

[David Sklansky]

"This only strengthens the notion that God doesn't answer experimental prayers.

But listen to the many doctors who say that prayer does make a difference. And notice how they say this NOT as a conclusion from an experiment."

But that could be tested statistically as well. By interviewing people after the fact to see if they prayed for a patient (who was not expecting that prayer). It would be hard but in principle doable. And if your contention was right there would be a correlation. Wanna bet?
