Oh i remember that, the thread where you purposefully misquoted me in a desperate attempt to make me look foolish so that you could dismiss the rest of what I said. I think if you ask around, the only source of embarrassment there was you.

Oh so now the placebo effect is caused by gods power?

Faith in god, in gods power, that god will heal them.

There has to be an outside source of power otherwise there would be nothing to have faith in.
Although the placebo effect does work, it doesn't work for big life-threatening or incurable diseases. Wasn't this woman blind? Or a leppar or something? If so: no, this was not the placebo effect.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
