I haven't read these links, but they might be a place to start:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studies_on_...ory_prayer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficacy_of_prayer

As far as I know, all the well-designed experiments have shown a null effect. Of course there are all different types of prayer and maybe someday an experiment will show a positive effect. That hasn't happened yet, so we should assume prayer doesn't work IMO.

Your opinion has no merit, I've seen prayer work time and again, I know you will dismiss it for one reason or the other, but you weren't there so you couldn't know the situation. Let's say for a minute you believed the God of the Bible was real, just saying, do you really think He would allow man to test Him in His goodness?

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
