Scientific prayer?

[Shell B]

Well . . . while I agree that prayer is generally used to describe a request from, or communication with, one's god, if you want to get technical, you could say that you might pray to yourself. I don't know if I would call it scientific prayer, but . . .

Note: Another object of worship

So, if you worship or adore yourself. . .

Perhaps you could pray to yourself. If that prayer succeeds, it certainly isn't because of the intervention of a deity, so the only way it could be explained is scientifically.
