As far as I know, all the well-designed experiments have shown a null effect. Of course there are all different types of prayer and maybe someday an experiment will show a positive effect. That hasn't happened yet, so we should assume prayer doesn't work IMO.

Your opinion has no merit, I've seen prayer work time and again, I know you will dismiss it for one reason or the other, but you weren't there so you couldn't know the situation. Let's say for a minute you believed the God of the Bible was real, just saying, do you really think He would allow man to test Him in His goodness?

Which one of your prayers has come true then i swear i won't say anything out the way.
