Do you have any evidence that prayer studies prove that praying works?

He's saying that prayer studies can't say anything definitive about prayers, so your comment makes no sense. However, he only came to that conclusion by, as others have said before me, presupposing a god exists and has known motives. Instead of using prayer studies to prove prayers don't exist, I suggested that the god in question simply doesn't exist; therefore prayers don't work, no study needed.
