This just goes to show that scientific data can be easily misinterpreted. They say it “fails to show healing power of prayer” but, wait. It also says the prayers were administered by three groups, “two Catholic and one Protestant”. The way I see it, this proves that Protestants are twice as holy as Catholics, but to a different God entirely, so their prayers canceled each other out. Poof.

i don’t think those who did they praying were serious
or those who were sick didn’t want to be cured

Or God didn’t care.

or he did, but didn’t want to listen to the prayees or heal the sick….sort of like this thing called LIFE.

Plus, every idiot knows God wants to stay mysterious. That’s why he only shows up on tree moss, oil slicks and potato chips.

Scrappleface’s assessment was similar ro Ferd’s:
Prayer Study: Humans Fail to Manipulate God
(2006-03-31) — A team of scientists today ended a 10-year study on the so-called “power of prayer†by concluding that God cannot be manipulated by humans, not even by scientists with a $2.4 million research grant.
