Faith healing couple acquitted of manslaughter charges! How can this happen?

RE: Faith healing couple acquitted of manslaughter charges! How can this happen?
Pippy, the Templeton foundation is a religious organization. THEY funded the study to try and prove prayer DID work, and fortunately enough when it found no effect they still posted the results. Dawkins only reported the result.

If you believe that prayer works as a meditation tool, I'll give you that. If you're saying a intercessory prayer actually works, and god affects the outcome, then absolutely not.
