AngelThMan Wrote:And how many times must Christians point out that the effectiveness of prayer cannot be proven with scientific studies or tests?What part of scientific studies demonstrate the ineffectiveness of prayer do you not understand?
Quote:God will not allow it to happen. Think about it: If God wants belief in him and prayer to be based solely on faith, why would he allow any scientific test to yield accurate results? In fact, even if a test wasn't specifically conducted, but a random sample was taken later of people who prayed and people who didn't, God would know ahead of time and would nullify such study by equalizing the results.You don't get a more pathetic all-powerful god concept than the one who discourages investigation and has to hide from his own creation.
