Going by experience alone, all prayers are recorded, not all are heard, and of those heard some are answered and some are not.
Regarding the placebo effect, I guess it is supposed to help the believer, but I missed the part about how it might help someone prayed for, or rearrange a non biological situation.
Prayer is talking to God, regardless of your belief or status, and any such prayer is recorded and known about by God.
Whatever prayer can accomplish is up to the individual to research and experiment with. You are allowed to test God, if you are prepared to be respectful.
Understanding a scientific approach would be handy, but honesty with God is essential. Game playing, manipulating and lying doesn't work with God.
First you must believe that he exists, and secondly you must believe that he rewards those who seek him diligently - not lazily.
We'll talk about those poor babies later.
