Evidence for Believing

[downbeatplumb]

These tests have been done you know.
They don't show what you'd think they do. The group that were prayed for and knew it actually did worse than the other groups.

So prayer actually makes things worse if you go by this study.

I don't think that's true by the way. One study would not prove that but it certainly proves no positive effect.

You know what's so great about this, right?

The Templeton Foundation is a Christian philanthropic organization that has a "horse in the race" so to speak.

They are actively looking for scientific confirmation of Christianity.

What is a very impressive, though, is they have the intellectual integrity NOT to 'spin' results on any of their studies.

Unlike the vast majority of other Christian apologists (WLC, Pantinga, McDowell, Strobel, Wallace, etc), who make a living on spinning, lying, and have NEVER corrected any of their fallacious arguments.

Yes I am aware of the Templeton foundation and as you say they could have suppressed this so it is in their favour that they didn't. Like an oil company funding research into climate change and publishing that it IS the fossil fuels doing it.
