If water did have memory then the tap water that we drink would have conflicting and interacting memories from being recycled through the sewer system. Also that homeopathic pills do not have a single molecule of the original substance left in it. Add to that absolutely no evidence that it provides any benefit.
Things to consider:
Why homeopathy is nonsense
Homeopathic uranium 200X and similarly bizarre stories
So a question to sceptics of homeopathy.
Do you know that it doesn't work, or are you just not convinced by claims from practitioners of homeopathy that it is effective?
And if you say that you know that it doesn't work because it violates everything we know about the laws of physics and chemistry and relies upon ambiguous definitions (e.g. water memory), then why can't we same thing about the existence of a god?
At what point can we say for sure that we know that something does not exist or does not work?
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
