Very interesting study, the result of which is not surprising at all. The study only demonstrates that prayer by a third party, not connected to the patient or care-givers has no significant effect. I don't really believe in the power of prayer, but if I were to design a study, it would have to involve prayers asking for something significant to the person praying or someone very close to him or her. Much harder to do. Nonetheless I enjoyed your video. Thanks for posting it.
Uh, yeah. They're obviously not proponents of any religion. They are biased towards themselves. They have ignored many facts in the past and covered many things up to make it look like they're right.
Well, science is a different case. It's the bottom of the ladder, and it's not bias-free. It's biased against Christianity, so that means it has to be biased towards science (aka itself). I guess if you want to get technical about it, you could say it's biased towards evolution. But currently, evolution is the definition of science, so we're back where we started.
you are really dumb or really brainwashed to think that because science is biased against christianity and scince chritianity and the "god dooone it" mentality created science that science is self bias i know what you meant and i still think you are brainwashed delusional
Let me get this straight, instead of responding with a legitimate response, you insult me. Does this mean you don't have a response? If you don't respond with a legitimate response, than you're saying you can't respond to it because you can't argue with the facts. Do you have any evidence to support your theory that science is friendly towards religion?
Lastly, this experiment was putting God to the test instead of putting our trust in God. Luke 4:12 and Deuteronomy 6:16 say Do not put the Lord your God to the test. We should put our trust in God instead of putting God to the test. I have an essay describing what this means. Unfortunately, due to the character limit, I cannot post it. If anyone wants it, just ask.
I found a few points of interest here. The video said, Science cannot prove or disprove the existence of supernatural being. Thats the first problem. If science cannot disprove the existence of a supernatural being, then it cant disprove God. Second, trying to find relations between God and modern science wont work. Modern science is biased toward atheism and disproving the existence of God. Thus, the experiment was doomed from the start.
This was not attempting to disprove god in any way, only the power of intercessory prayer. Also science is not biased towards atheism at all. It does however only deal with the natural world which leaves anything supernatural out. But there are plenty of famous theist scientist.
That's the problem. It leaves everything supernatural out. You can't expect supernatural occurances if you tell supernatural beings (in this case, God) to stay out of it.
Incorrect. If you don't pray to God, He won't answer you prayer. Let's say you want a new toy. You have to ask for it, don't you? If you don't ask anyone, it won't be given to you. "Ask, and it will be given to you." Luke 11:9
You obviously missed the content of the prayer study covered in this video. Many people prayed to god, and the results would of been manifested in the natural world, therefore able to be studied. And it was the Templeton Foundation that funded and backed the research, the TF is a very religious/spiritual foundation. So far all of your objections are without merit. Please pay attention the next time you watch a video. Not intended to be rude, but invalid objections that were already covered,
Sorry about that. I haven't watched the video in a couple weeks. However, the purpose of prayer is to ask for help, not to be used to prove/disprove the existence of God. Luke 4:12 and Deuteronomy 6:16 say, "Do not put the Lord your God to the test." We should trust God instead of testing Him. What did you expect from this test? It was doing the exact opposite of what God said to do.
What I said is that we're not supposed to test God. The purpose of prayer is to communicate with God, not to tell Him to prove himself. Also, when we pray, we're asking, not commanding. God will always give us an answer, whether it be yes, no, or wait. However, we must ask. He will not answer if we command. It's "ask and you shall recieve", not "demand and you shall recieve". "Knock, and the door will open", not "demand entrance and the door will open."
"What I said is that we're not supposed to test God" exqactly.. and you think god is real,so i will say it again "thats is pretty convinient dont you think "dont test somthing because its real!!!""
I will reiterate what I said previously. The purpose of prayer is to ask God for help, not for Him to prove His existence. We ask God for help. We don't command it. Prayer is not something you can base a case against Christianity off of.
Forgive me, but if I'm not mistaken, you have yet to give any legitimate arguments against Christianity. Unless you can prove it's wrong, you can't make a claim like "clearly it's not real".
As Science marches forward looking for real knowledge gained through experimentation, advanced technologies, & experimentation, superstitious ignorance will eventually fall by the wayside. "The proof is in the pudding"! Great Video 5 Stars!

This is so boring i can't sit for 5 mins. I'm going to play UT3 instead. Can't wait for an exciting study, an actually real and reputable study.

But the outcome of any type of prayer would have effects in the natural world, Therefore it would be able to be observed and studied.

wow you said
"What I said is that we're not supposed to test God"
but you say
GOD IS REAL
so by comparative logic you think (conviniently)
"do not test what we dont have proof for"
or "dont test somthing because its real!!!"" when clearly it is not real
